High on the wish list of most people when dreaming of their ultimate landscape design is a seamless flow between the interiors and landscape, preferably with a strong connection and good views from inside. This tiny courtyard in Paddington is a great example. The clients were after a tropical oasis with lots of contrasting leaf shapes, species and colours. They also want a strong indoor/outdoor connection with functional bench seating and for the materials used inside to continue into the outdoor area. Designed by Think Outside Gardens this garden proves that wonderful things can come in very small packages. The bright yellow butterfly chair works magnificently against the tropical background and the connect with the indoors is outstanding.
