The best of Australian home design is about the seamless integration of inside and out … oh and al fresco living. Given the chance most of us Aussies would rather spend time living in our outside rooms than in. Today’s garden is a masterful expression of the Australian sentiment by Melbourne landscape designers Eckersley Garden Architecture. You’ll either find me in the outdoor kitchen or perhaps just sitting on the stairs drinking in the lush greenery.
