This contemporary garden design transforms an urban courtyard into a stylish, modern outdoor space. Defined by a series of functional zones, it features a hardwood deck beneath a glass-roofed pergola, creating a sheltered dining area with an integrated outdoor kitchen. A spacious porcelain slab patio—with a playful, textured finish—extends the living room outdoors. A private spa zone, complete with a partially sunken hot tub and a lush living green wall, brings a sense of retreat, making the space feel both generous and intimate.

Introduction
Our Design Process
Design requirements that we successfully executed for this urban courtyard project:
- Transform a compact plot into a highly functional, family-friendly garden without compromising on contemporary style.
- Incorporate three distinct seating areas, each suited for larger gatherings and entertaining.
- Create a dedicated spa zone with a subtly positioned hot tub, integrated into the overall layout.
- Combine high-quality surface materials—hardwood decking and textured porcelain—for visual harmony and lasting impact.
- Develop a layered lighting scheme to enhance atmosphere and usability across all areas of the contemporary garden design.
