Basement courtyard garden

Discover how top interior designers and architects create green sanctuaries within these contemporary abodes.

A sunken courtyard acts like a light well illuminating the basement, which is currently set up as a playroom, though it can be renovated to become additional bedrooms, an office, a self-contained studio, or even a lap pool.

To create movement and flow in this rear courtyard, and to make it feel more generous than it really is, we have proposed a sweeping lounge seating/layered planter. The courtyard sits predominantly atop a basement below so this allows us to bring the garden into areas that would otherwise remain hard surfaces. #landscapedesign#gardendesign#courtyard#melbournegarden#luxuryresidence#alfresco
