With the growing status of the Old World style and its related courtyards, as an Arizona custom home builder we’ve witnessed unique ways to incorporate a courtyard in and around a property. A number of Arizona luxury custom home courtyards are firmly situated at the entrance of homes and affords flexibility to the front yard. Other homeowners have small garden spaces on the outside of their master bedroom offering a relaxing and very private sitting area.
Architectural elements inside of a courtyard can make for an exceptional environment that sets apart the uniqueness of a courtyard home. Courtyard structures comprised of arbors are sensible, providing enchanting garden themes and comfortable shady areas from the Arizona heat. Adding a water fountain to the theme will enhance the courtyard while at the same time creating an excellent environment for the cool, refreshing sound of flowing water as well as a haven for birds. Another courtyard option is an outdoor fireplace, a place to situate comfortable outdoor furniture and offer a great place to hang out with family or friends. Furniture placed in a courtyard can help define the space as a dining area, or relaxations area with an outdoor sofa.
Choosing a flooring for an outdoor courtyard can add pizzazz and attractiveness to the courtyard and is yet another option worth pursuing to further define the space and it’s uses. As an Arizona custom home builder, we often use interlocking pavers, flagstone, or natural slate flooring.
Plants selected for an outdoor courtyard is determined by the climate of course, in Arizona courtyards are often full of colorful and flowering plants such as bougainvillea, ruellias, hibiscus and lantanas for summer, while geraniums, petunias, penstemmons, and gazania offer great flowering winter plants.
As an Arizona custom home builder, more and more of the homes we build include a courtyard of some kind. A front courtyard, not only separates the house from the street, it can add that level of privacy and seclusion in the midst of a city street. Having a courtyard as the center of attraction for a custom home is a marvelous decision for those seeking periods of privacy or sharing meals and good times with family and friends.
