A private villa backyard in Abu Dhabi, designed as a set of usable outdoor rooms rather than one open space.
The climate does most of the deciding here – shade structures, planting and evening lighting matter more than the plan, because the space is really used after sunset.
What the Design Covered
Outdoor kitchen and grill run with storage
Pergola-shaded dining and lounge seating
Open lawn with mature tree planting
Children’s play area with climbing frame and slide
Garden room with glazed frontage
Layered planting beds and boundary screening
Evening lighting scheme throughout
Outcome
Rendered in both daylight and evening lighting, since the evening condition is how the family would actually use it.
