The Labyrinth GardenThe brief: Turn a typical inner city terrace
backyard in to a French Courtyard to
provide extra living space.
The owner of this property in Sydney’s
Surry Hills had a typical small pokey east
facing backyard which backed up onto
a large block wall. Knowing space was at
a premium and needing to expand this
small house’s living space, I came up with
an innovative design to maximise the
small space.
The original space was about 7 sqm with
an outdoor laundry and old toilet. Interior
designer Jonathan Clarke of Urban Interior
Design had come up with a clever design
that enabled the kitchen space to open out
to an alfresco dining area. The ultimate
aim of this space was to seamlessly
integrate the indoor and outdoor flow and
to make a small outdoor area feel like an
open extra living green space.
The back area of the house was
demolished and reconfigured to use the
existing side return as an extra kitchen
dining space. This increased the outdoor
area to be around 25 sqm. This needed
to become a light and bright area - and
with walls on all sides, this also needed to
reflect a feeling of light and space which is
much needed in the inner city.
Large sized white coloured concrete
pavers were used to give a feeling of space.
They were laid on a bed of river sand to
allow for drainage when it rained and stop
the paved area becoming a pond. Mature
Ficus cones were used to give the feeling
that the garden had been established for a
long time and two old 19th century French
doors were mirrored and mounted on the
large back wall thus reflecting the garden
and giving a feeling of space and grand
proportions.
A French Urn was used with a Gardenia
standard and under planted with annuals.
White painted hardy plank walls and
wooden trellis were used on the sides to
give an impression of ‘French country’.
Overall the feeling of the space made the
courtyard feel grand as well as spacious
and made a dark underused space an
integral part of the house and created a
much needed extra entertaining space.

Windsor CompaniesAn elegantly landscaped estate was designed to frame views, offer tranquility, and provide numerous spaces with a variety of experiences.
Long, meandering bluestone paths interconnect formal garden spaces with natural woodlands. World-famous bronze sculpture provides personality to an otherwise pastoral place. Groundcovers of Pachysandra, Hosta, and Heuchera are planted en masse to firmly shape garden spaces. A stone wall retains the generous main bluestone terrace. Though it resides a half-mile from the water, the home is positioned perfectly to provide a captivating view of Lake Minnetonka.
Over many years the evolution of this home and landscape has earned Windsor Companies numerous design awards from the Minnesota Nursery and Landscape Association and the American Society of Landscape Architects.

HartmanBaldwin Design/BuildIn keeping with the estate’s traditional English Tudor style 10,000 sq. ft. of gardens were designed. The English Gardens are characterized by regular, geometric planting patterns and pathways, with antique decorative accessories heightening their old-world feel. Special nooks and hideaways, coupled with the sound of cascading water in fountains, create a serene environment, while delicate lighting in planter boxes makes the garden perfect for early evening strolls.
