Courtyards & Garden Rooms

Bringing the outside in

Used imaginatively in extensions, garden rooms and court yards lime plasters can provide a subtle and sometimes playful link between the old and new parts of a house and its interior and exterior spaces.

The role and function of each space can be distinguished or brought together with quiet variations in colour, texture and imagery to reflect the spirit of a house in subtle and imaginative ways.
