🌿 Tuscan-Inspired Courtyard Living... in the Heart of the City

An Urban Concrete Jungle Reimagined as a Calm, Clean, Mediterranean Retreat

Before: Just Concrete, Walls... and More Concrete

This inner-city courtyard had plenty of potential — but it was locked under a slab of lifeless grey.

No function. No comfort. No charm.

What it needed was structure, texture, and just enough soul to soften the sharp edges...

After: A Hardworking Courtyard with Laid-Back Mediterranean Style

Here’s what we brought in to give it both form and flow:

• Rustic rendered brick wall — brings softness and a grounded European character to the space.
• Synthetic turf — gives a clean green punch of softness without the mowing or mud.
• Natural timber bench/daybed — doubles as a luxe lounging spot or overflow seating.
• Cladded raised planters and feature screens — create structure, privacy, and flow.
• Evergreen planting palette — low maintenance but lush and seasonally consistent.
• Alfresco area with overhead cover — transitions perfectly between seasons or occasions.

What’s Working Here (And Why You’ll Want One Too)

• Textural contrast between timber, render, and plantings… adds rich character that ages beautifully.
• Synthetic turf and paved finishes… stay pristine and practical even with pets or parties.
• Multi-purpose layout… makes space for lounging, dining, entertaining — or just doing nothing beautifully.
• Raised beds and screens… make it feel intimate without closing it in.

Perfect For:

✅ Tight urban lots
✅ Low-maintenance lifestyles

✅ Clients who want elegance without excess fuss

✅ Families who need function but crave charm

Final Touch:

The whole space feels tucked away and self-contained — like it could be in Melbourne, or Tuscany. That’s the point.
