Mediterranean Flair for a Small Space

In this Italian Renaissance design by Jamie Durie, topiaries and large earthen pots complement the Tuscan look. Creamy concrete pavers interspersed with synthetic grass create a mini parterre in the transition zone between the dining area and the pool. Clean lines and bench seating make the most of the small space. Photo by Jason Busch

Crafted Hardscape

Jamie Durie adapted contemporary Australian design elements to give this beautiful patio a beach-like feeling. The wave-like contours of colorful stacked sandstone are set against the diagonal decking to expand the space and give it flow. Beyond the patio is a gorgeous painted wall.

Creative Contour

Colorful layers of sandstone serve as a divider between undulating hardscape and landscape and also provide durable built-in seating. Design by Jamie Durie
