Garden concepts
Five spaces. Five different priorities.
Each card shows an AI-generated starting point, proposed daytime design and night atmosphere. A real design would follow a site visit, measurements and an agreed budget.
02 · Urban courtyard
Make a small footprint feel intentional
A low-maintenance direction for a compact walled garden, using simple paving, integrated seating and layered shade-tolerant planting.
03 · Family garden
Durable, useful and ready for everyday life
A practical family layout that keeps an open lawn, adds a proper dining terrace and gives storage, paths and planting clearer roles.
04 · Natural modern
More planting, softer movement, less formality
A wildlife-conscious direction using a permeable path, layered perennial planting and a quiet seating area rather than a conventional central lawn.
05 · Entertainer’s garden
A timeless place to cook, dine and host
Designed for relaxed family gatherings: a level stone terrace, six-seat dining area, compact built-in barbecue, herb beds, pergola shade and generous traditional planting.
