Garden Tour: A peaceful garden and timeless in a suburban Australian - When you need a retreat from the bustle of the outside world, a verdant oasis garden can be the perfect refuge and this amazing design by Myles Broad Eckersley Garden architecture provides the perfect example. The artistic space and relaxation was recently presented in the annual report National Gallery of Victoria and the Association of Women ( NGVWA) Garden Day event, which presented some of the best garden designs in an elegant district of Melbourne. Myles was first greeted by a classical garden without interest that could be considered in its entirety from the rear window. The inspiration was to create a beautiful garden that would serve as an exciting and active social family, "says he, and implement this brief, he introduced a lush and functional escape for homeowners a house that has been divided into key areas where they could enjoy the various aspects of outdoor life.

The two key areas of garden consist of a dining area and a raised retirement that leads to a pool in the back. By cutting these key areas, Myles skillfully creates the illusion of more space, "It is a common misconception that if you can see an entire garden from a single point of view it feels spacious and expansive. What we're trying to do is break this space in different compartments so that it can not be seen at once. "
