b'architectural elements add drama to this spaceDesigner Dean Saunders suggests this scheme: This semi-formal contemporary design uses strong architectural elements to create a visually appealing and intimate outdoor garden space. Drawing inspiration from the traditional kiwi bach, the design combines rustic charm with simple lines to elevate the sense of home. Natural concrete rendered walls protected with Resene Concrete Clear and vertical timber cladding in Resene Quarter Foundry add a rich tapestry of texture. Timber sliding shutters in Resene Quarter Cararra help create that seamless indoor/outdoor flow. A row of hornbeam (Carpinus Betulus) with a lush under-planting of hosta Royal Standard helps frame the yard, while the crisp lime green foliage of the Buxus microphylla topiary balls add subtle elegance.
