Traditional Garden Design for Courtyard

Project Overview: I am looking for a professional designer to create an open-air interior garden in my home. The garden should feature a large central tree reaching up to 9 meters in height, comfortable seating areas, pathways, and well-placed shrubs for added natural beauty and depth. The goal is to create a balanced, aesthetically pleasing space that combines natural elements with easy maintenance, providing a relaxing, visually appealing environment. Space Details: • Location: Center of the house, fully open to the sky • Dimensions: 11 meters long, 6 meters wide, and 1 meter deep • Height: Sufficient space to accommodate the tree’s growth up to 9 meters without obstruction. Objectives: • Design a comfortable, beautiful garden space with a central tree surrounded by well-distributed shrubs. • Integrate natural elements like rocks and pathways to provide a cohesive, visually appealing environment. Specific Design Requirements: 1. Location for the Large Tree (9 meters): • Plant the tree centrally in the garden, making it the focal point of the design and providing natural shade to surrounding seating areas. • Select a tree that can withstand warm climates and provide ample shade, such as an olive tree or a slow-growing ornamental tree. • Ensure there is sufficient soil depth for root stability, with root support as needed. 2. Shrub Planting Locations: • Perimeter Shrubs: Place shrubs around the edges of the garden to create layers of color and texture, giving a defined border to the space. • Pathway Shrubs: Plant shrubs along the sides of pathways to enhance the flow and natural look of the garden, guiding movement through the space. • Seating Area Shrubs: Add small shrubs near seating areas to create a sense of privacy and comfort, as well as vibrant natural color nearby. 3. Seating Areas under Tree Shade: • Design comfortable seating under the tree to take advantage of the natural shade throughout the day, using wood or stone benches. • Include cushions or backrests for added comfort, ensuring the furniture complements the garden’s natural theme. 4. Pathways: • Create natural pathways around the tree and seating areas using gravel or stones for easy navigation within the garden. • Ensure pathways blend with the shrub layout and direct visitors towards seating and the central tree. 5. Drainage and Irrigation System: • Implement a reliable drainage system to prevent water pooling around plants. • Use a drip irrigation system, ensuring it reaches each plant according to its placement and water needs. 6. Soil and Lighting: • Use well-draining soil with good aeration to promote healthy plant growth. • Ensure natural light exposure during the day, with subtle, warm lighting around seating areas and pathways for a cozy ambiance at night. Preferred Design Style: • A modern, natural style where seating, pathways, and plants harmonize with the central tree, creating a cohesive and inviting environment. Required Skills: • Expertise in open-air garden design, including effective space planning for plants and seating. • Knowledge of drainage and irrigation systems suited for open, interior gardens.
