Here’s another multitasking courtyard.

I like the full glass concertina doors – its goes with the steel and gives it a nice swanky edge. You’d definitely need a nice swanky car to match.


Yes I know the plant choice is a bit limited, but anything green is good I say.
Link here, while it lasts. Check out another previous garage/courtyard here.

I love the idea of using your view to influence your garden design. I spend a whole lot of time trying to hide mine, or at least make it look nicer than a plain fence.
Here they have a great view and they could have planted a big fat nothing, but they didn’t. The garden mimics the view whilst providing some interest. I just need to find me a view like this…
