A family garden where the premium was on an open kick about lawn for the children, while also providing amazing outdoor entertaining and relaxation spaces for the parents. The feature element is the timber pergola complete with a custom made oculus to the sky. Timber decking to the pergola and the entertaining space at the rear of the home provide natural surfaces that perfectly complement the living garden elements. Feature rockwork is thoughtfully located throughout the garden and placed to create interest and story. Large bluestone slab steppers through coarse ballast paths provide access around the home. Custom designed and made metal screens are installed to the narrow side garden to provide a frame for climbing plants and offer views from within the home and privacy from neighbours.

Garden Design – Town courtyard garden with a Japanese theme. Eco-Design – Use of gravel rather than paving reduces the carbon footprint substantially. Sustainable Design – Retaining walls made from timber. Carbon remains embedded in the wood.

築４０年の木造一戸建て住宅の改装計画。 新しいオーナーは夫婦と小さな子供達の４人家族で、敷地の南側には実家が所有する山林が広がり、東側は高台で眺めが良く、建物は古いながらも気持ちのよい周辺環境が整っていた。 ここを新たな生活の場とするため、建物の内部から外部まで敷地を横断するような、２つの大きな新規壁面(＝Crossing Wall )を立てた。そうすることで建物の壁量を補充しつつ、建物内外をまたいで一体的に使えるエリアを４つ設定した。 ①室内：明るいリビング・ダイニング／室外：山林に続く庭 ②室内：コンパクトな家事スペース／室外：高台の物干しテラス ③室内：収納スペース／室外：倉庫が増設できる裏庭 ④室内：玄関／室外：アプローチ Crossing Wallはエリアごとに４色で塗り分けている。 既存建物には以前からの仕上げ材や造作物が残っていて、ある程度それらを取り払うにせよ、完全に消すのは難しい状況だった。そこで存在感のあるCrossing Wallを建物内外にわたって支配的に設置し、既存建物から消せない細々とした部分を相対的に目立たなくさせることで、シンプルで拡張性を感じられる空間として再構成しようと試みた。 古い建物は構造的に弱い傾向があるが、その反面、窓が多くて風通しがよく、周りの植栽が十分に育っている、といった傾向もある。短所を補いつつ長所を生かし、明快で過不足のない方法で新しい生活環境をつくりたいと考えた。

World-Inspired Pergola Ideas and Designs

A beautifully designed world-inspired garden is as important as the emphasis we place on the designs of our interiors. After all, our grounds (however modest) frame our homes and contribute to first impressions not only of our houses, but also of the households within. Options for garden designs can be as elaborate or low maintenance as your lifestyle and preferences permit – consider both your aspirations for how it should look and how much time you can invest in garden maintenance. Consulting a gardener or landscape designer will ensure you have a garden that suits your lifestyle, the local climate and soil conditions. But don’t forget that with Houzz your first stop can be collecting images of garden ideas and designs you love in order to inspire your garden plans and potentially share them with a landscape gardening professional.

How do I come up with a world-inspired front garden design?

The priority for a front garden is kerb appeal. Begin by considering the area immediately around and leading up to your front door. You may want to opt for front garden designs that blend well with the style of your home – for example, abundant foliage and flowerbeds will perfectly complement a period property, whereas man-made materials, geometric shapes and contrasting textures are great ideas for a contemporary garden design. Even if your front garden is a small space, keep it tidy – if you have more space, make the most of it with garden ideas and features such as a manicured lawn, gravel driveway, water feature or garden fencing. If you don’t have the time or commitment to devote to gardening, then neatly pruned hedges, statement paving, hanging baskets, garden benches and outdoor lighting are all decorative, low maintenance garden ideas for your world-inspired front garden design.

How should I design my world-inspired back garden?

Back gardens typically offer more space than front garden designs and serve a more recreational purpose, so it’s important to know how you want to spend time in your garden before you design it in order to build in the features that you will enjoy. If you love relaxing in the garden and dining al fresco, think about patios, decking, garden furniture and BBQs. For the more horticulturally-inclined, incorporate flower beds, greenhouses or vegetable garden designs. Your landscape gardening professional can help you install structures such as sheds, pergolas and gazebos that complement your garden design, and artfully-placed garden ideas such as lawn edging and lighting will add definition to your chosen design.

How do I create a low maintenance garden?

The great news is, gardens aren’t exclusively for the green-fingered. Whether you’re not horticulturally-inclined or simply don’t have the time for a bit of landscape gardening, you can still have a world-inspired garden design that looks the way you want by making some smart design choices. While many of us favour low maintenance gardens like urban gardens, roof terraces and patio gardens, lovers of greenery don’t need to sacrifice grass for paving slabs. Whatever you want from your garden, there are a variety of gardening solutions that can be built in to make life easier. For example, labour intensive features such as vegetable patches, greenhouses and flower beds can be optimised with an automatic irrigation system. These can be offset with fuss-free garden ideas such as hard landscaping, including gravel, paving or decking, and hard-wearing evergreens that require minimal upkeep. You might even consider replacing your garden fencing with slow growing hedging, which can be maintained less regularly than wooden fence panels. If having a lawn is important, there are different types of grasses in varying degrees of durability and maintenance. You may choose to take a more relaxed approach to your lawn – “wild” garden designs can have great charm if the grasses and flowers are chosen carefully. If you prefer a manicured lawn, it’s a good idea to invest in a “mulching” lawn mower that will recycle clippings and remove the need for cleaning up. Finally, there isn’t a more low maintenance garden lawn than artificial grass which can look highly realistic and keep your garden looking green. Garden ornaments are a great way to add interest to your low maintenance garden design – go for smart garden ideas such as solar garden lights which are both decorative and functional.
