This beautiful outdoor space in Paddington was designed by Pepo Botanic Design. After renovating the patio, the owners turned their attention to the outdoor areas visible from different parts of the house. The small courtyard terrace needed to look good from every side of the house and provide a comfortable place to talk and relax. The landscape architects also considered the owners' privacy, screening the garden from the street. A series of small triangular areas was converted into usable outdoor space. The terrace design combines artful elements such as concrete slabs, a polished copper sculpture, and abundant planting.
Renovated Courtyard Terrace
The yard around the house had previously been a series of hard-to-reach spaces, so the redesign needed to keep the elements simple and harmonious. Concrete slabs in soft triangular shapes create a path that does not fight the layout of the house, but feels natural. Small plants between the slabs soften the lines and add interest.
Backyard Patio – Modern Botanical Design by Pepo
The courtyard patio had to be functional and include a drying area, barbecue, off-street parking, and space for entertaining. To make room for all these functions, the landscape architects concealed some practical entries within the garden. The covered concrete area was enlarged to fit a small car. When the garage door is open and connected to the terrace, it can also be used as a covered area for parties.
Garden shed
Artistic elements play an important role in this garden. A copper sculpture was placed in a corner where it can be seen from several angles. Its shape needed to feel light while also conveying strength, complementing the concrete slabs. Mark McClelland worked in copper to create an organic form for the sculpture. LED lighting, a rainwater tank under the house for drip irrigation, and natural planting complete this peaceful courtyard oasis.
