Overview

Expanding home to include your outdoor spaces.

This book is not about landscaping or gardening. It’s about the transitions and connections between the inside of a house and the outside, and about the journeys and the places that can be made to extend the experience of home to the outside. Just as the inside of a house is a sequence of places for the experiences of daily life, so the outside continues this sequence. And the paths and places along the way, whether inside, outside, or in the in-between zone, are together what we call Home. Whatever the size of your property, the ideas contained herein will help to make your house and garden two parts of a singular whole.

    A good gardening ideas book for both design professionals and ordinary gardeners

    A house and its garden are different parts of the same overall design. Bestselling author Sarah Susanka and acclaimed landscape designer and award-winning writer Julie Moir Messervy understand this concept. They describe it as 'opening up the relationship of indoors and out' and demonstrate it with actual case studies in ¿Outside the Not So Big House: Creating the Landscape of Home.¿ ¿Outside the Not So Big House: Creating the Landscape of Home¿ covers the landscape of home, embracing the habit of home (playing up the corners, borrowing the landscape, the attraction of opposites, a stream of one¿s own, shelter and embrace), composing journeys (variations on a theme, Japanese journey, parallel paths, the territory of home, the world behind the walls), linking the inside with the out (living lightly on the land, easy living, a landscape of stone, good fences, rooms inside and out), and crafting the elements of nature (gardens of earthly delight, three cabins in a forest, at home on the range, terraces of grass, a cottage in the city). This book does show the influence of Julie Moir Messervy¿s training with the well-known Japanese garden master Kinsaku Nakane as a Henry Luce Scholar. ¿Outside the Not So Big House: Creating the Landscape of Home¿ has 216 pages and many dazzling color interior photos and plans. It is a good gardening ideas book for both design professionals and ordinary gardeners.
