A small courtyard oasis

Posted on Thu, 30 Apr 2020 by midcenturyjo

A calming and relaxed garden in an urban setting. A small green oasis in the hustle and bustle. Cedar bench, large pavers, a mid green colour palette with interest coming from texture and leaf shape. Lush, private, inviting. I think I’d like to lean back on that bench, cold beer in hand and soak up some autumn sun. Social isolating in the perfect spot. Balmain courtyard by Think Outside Gardens.

California dreaming

California dreaming in Newport Beach, high above the water. Warm summer days and outdoor spaces, high style and easy living. Understated sophistication, laid back yet luxurious. Dolphin Terrace by Kelly Nutt Design.

A wild garden in the sky

Posted on Fri, 10 Apr 2020 by midcenturyjo

Nine floors up in the city skyline is a comapny garden providing break out and informal meeting areas for its staff. Yada, yada, yah, yah, so what? A couple of planter boxes and a picnic table would be the most you would expect but that’s not what this garden is at all. Verdant greenery spilling everywhere, gentlemovement, a sense of exploration, an oasis in the city with the most exceptional views (Opera House sails anyone?). Clever ideas to steal for urban courtyard or balcony gardens. Platinum House by Sydney-based landscape designers Secret Gardens.
