Oh! Oh! I want one! Rear Yard Art Pavilion by Gemmill Design. Who knew that such a thing could live at the bottom of a garden?

Sitting proudly on the rise with its face turned to the sun is the striking Quinta da Baroneza House by São Paulo-based Candida Tabet Arquitetura. Massive spans and a play of horizontal against vertical elements characterise the design.  Sun kissed, open and generous. A true Brazilian beauty.

Is it obvious that I’m collecting backyard inspiration? Hence my obsession with Sydney landscape architectural firm Secret Gardens? We’re planning on doing some work to tame our jungle of a garden into something sophisticated, stylish, with outdoor “rooms”. If only my place could be as stunning as this Coogee space. Definitely backyard bliss.

Limited space doesn’t have to mean limited outdoor style. This small warehouse courtyard manages to include a pool, outdoor kitchen, luscious greenery and the fab feel of an inner sanctum. Clovelly garden by, who else but, Sydney-based landscape designers extraordinaire Secret Gardens.

Not so much a secret garden although you must admit that backyard is a bit of a hidden oasis. No it’s a design by Secret Gardens in Sydney’s inner suburb of Randwick. Bright and breezy. Like being at a holiday resort 365 days a year.
