Small spaces are where design matters most. A well-considered courtyard can feel like an extra room — green, private and calm — even in the densest parts of Sydney.

We specialise in making compact gardens work hard: clever layouts, lush vertical planting, and beautiful materials that reward a close look.

In a courtyard, every surface and sight line counts. We use level changes, layered planting, lighting and carefully chosen materials to create depth and a sense of calm, so even the smallest space feels considered and complete.

These projects reward craftsmanship. With less square metreage to work with, the quality of the detailing — the joinery, the stonework, the planting — is exactly what makes the space feel special.

FAQs

Courtyards & Small Gardens — common questions

Is it worth designing such a small space?

Especially so. In a small garden every decision is visible, so good design has the biggest impact. It's some of our most rewarding work.

Can you work with strata or shared spaces?
