A captivating courtyard design provides a modern home with a special sense of serenity, and allows nature to become a major part of a home\u2019s makeup. Enclosed garden spaces act as personalised nature retreats that feed into adjacent interior spaces via the blurred boundaries of glass walls, retractable doors and atrium ceilings. To explore these glorious spaces a little more and look at the different ways in which they can be implemented, we have put together a vast collection of inspirational designs taken from all over the world. From South America to Spain to Sri Lanka, from Africa to Japan to India, we cover them all.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Twinning is winning: Why settle for one courtyard if you can have two? It\u2019s hard to distinguish the boundaries in this amazing modern home \u2013 and that\u2019s kind of the point.

The base of a shallow pool can be lined with stones and pebbles to enrich the feature with a natural look.
