the indoor-outdoor lifestyle is all the rage. we’re here to talk withaward-winning landscape architect pat murphy about how to design theperfect outdoor living space for your lifestyle. so pat, what are four tips that youcan give us about designing your backyard? well the first would be looking at the space itself and deciding what sort of uses you’d like to integrate, whether you're a retired couple, or you have children. you may create opportunities for the kids to haveplay areas separate from where you want to entertain. okay, so we have to lookat who is going to be using the space.


exactly. what’s our second tip? elevation differences can be utilized, an example being, if you're stepping into a space, it becomes very inviting. if you're stepping up, it’s a little more prominent. and it gains a sort ofviewability situation to the lot itself. one of the things that i love about the backyards is that you can tell that every inchhas been planned for and has a purpose. accessibility goes hand-in-hand with usability.


comfort zones provide extensions from the inside-out. the pool would be located off a great room. with a spa, you can createa private niche outside the master bedroom. so every square inch of this lot is precious. and what’s our fourth tip? probably most important is the “wow” factor, how the homeowner is goingto show that off to their entertainment, utilizing outdoor kitchens,barbecues, fire pits, and walls, and water features, all greatopportunities for maximizing those spaces.
