The relationship between indoor and outdoor space can transform how a home feels and functions.

Create a natural transition

Door placement, level changes and material continuity can connect interior rooms with terraces, gardens or courtyards.

Design for local conditions

Sun, shade, wind and rainfall influence whether an outdoor space will be comfortable and regularly used.

Think about ecology

Appropriate planting and responsible water management can support a more considered landscape approach.

Make space for everyday use

A small, sheltered outdoor area designed around real routines can be more valuable than a larger space without a clear purpose.

Every project has its own climate, site conditions, budget and regulatory requirements. An experienced design team can help turn these principles into an appropriate project-specific approach.
