11 Inspiring Outdoor Spaces For Summer Living
11 inspiring outdoor spaces for summer living
Come summertime, outdoor spaces become invaluable as you leisurely soak up the sunshine, spend time in the garden or entertain outside. Take a look at these inspiring outdoor spaces that will instantly help you relax and enjoy life outdoors this summer.
1. An entertainers courtyard
Growing rooms have proved you don’t need a big space to enjoy entertaining and relaxing outdoors all summer long. By maximising every square inch, they’ve been able to incorporate a dining space, cooking facilities and a place to kick back with a good read.
2. A seamless transition
Opening the interior completely to the rooftop space has enriched the occupant’s lifestyle of this home and made the entire apartment feel much more generously sized. Designed by SJB, this rooftop also has all the amenities you need for living outdoors. It even has a Robert Plumb ‘Bollyhood’ Tandoor Oven!

3. Holiday vibes
Want to feel like you’re on holidays every day? Take some inspiration from this outdoor space which accommodates all your summer living needs including dining in a protected position, lounging with a view and a superb pool to cool off in.
4. A shaded garden
On a warm summers day retreating to a shaded spot in the garden is the perfect way to unwind. Fig Landscapes have cleverly created an open timber pergola that’s surrounded by green in this suburban garden.
5. The ultimate beach house
Polly Harbison has designed an enviable beach house which completely opens to an expansive outdoor area. Finished in the same stone as the interior and wrapping around the building, this home is all about indoor/outdoor living.

Extending off the living space, Cadence & Co have created an outdoor area that’s protected from the coastal winds and at the same time capitalising on the beachside aspect.
7. Relaxed beachside living
Bower Architecture have successfully designed this beachside villa’s pool to wrap into the architecture. Not only does this offer a visually pleasing amenity and a place to swim, but the position also allows for natural ventilation through the pool’s window into the interior.
