Although a courtyard garden can be sheltered and pleasant, there may also be problems with heat and dryness.



Example: The Courtyard Garden

This scheme was commissioned to provide a temporary garden until the client retired and sold the adjoining barn for conversion. The proposed conversion had already had an extension added which was nearly a metre above the existing ground level and this was decked with overhead beams added on the exterior walls, which were swathed in clematis and roses, providing a viewing platform into the rest of the garden. The rills and the water spout provided not only sound but also helped to cool the static air enclosed within the courtyard and the additional trees added shade to an area that otherwise would have been very hot.
