This small enclosed courtyard has been transformed into a practical space by the<br />
addition of several design features. Painting the walls with <strong>Resene</strong> Sea Fog and the<br />
use of light-coloured pavers (Stevenson’s Veneto Sabbia) gives the impression of a<br />
larger space. A low wall in Stevenson’s Ezi Wall, colour Southern Boulder, provides a<br />
planter box on the perimeter of the space. Plant choices include those with texture,<br />
red fl owers and those that will tolerate the semi-shaded site. A small water feature<br />
in the corner creates an ambient atmosphere, while an outdoor art panel on the wall<br />
facing the windows depicts native bush. A pebbled paving insert defi nes the link<br />
between the gate and the door, and a large pot adds colour.<br />
