If you are blessed with a spacious lot, you would surely make use of it so you can add more footprints to your home.
For some, they prefer to use it as a garden or a yard where they can spend time outdoors. Guess, that sounds better, right?
That is why many homeowners prefer to have their own yard since they need a space to relax and unwind from their busy city life.

Distinct spaces are created externally which include a courtyard, a formal lawn, a raised external dining area and pool. Then, it draws back into the house through large areas of glazed openings.
This area can be accessed when you step down from the pool. It is a small grassy area under a tree while next to the lawn is an outdoor lounge focused on a fireplace.
This walkway leads up to a raised outdoor kitchen and dining area. Notice that the yard has beautiful flowers and tall trees in it.
A covered walkway connects the various areas of the new backyard. It has operable timber screens that have been included to provide shade when needed.
To access the outdoor space, this shade is provided which is directly connected to the interior. Like the house, it is also in black and white.
