Best Inspiring Book for Outdoor Design
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
A definite must have. This is by far one of the best inspiring books for outdoor designs. If you are looking for something modern, minimalist, different from ordinary, don't look any further and buy this book. I designed my own terrace thanks to the great ideas and inspiration by Jamie Durie.
This is one of my favorite inspiration books

This is the best of Durie's books and is an excellent companion for the California garden designer. The plans are helpful for understanding the layout of a garden, but the photos are what really make the book. The light modern style, clever detailing, and CA compatible plants give me new ideas every time I open it.
Must-read for garden design
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I must admit that I wasn't expecting much from Jamie Durie, knowing him mainly for his home renovation shows in Australia.However, after much searching through countless books on garden design in bookstores, I found his books to be far and away the best I've seen.His designs are very modern and innovative and the book gives a lot of insight into the design and construction process. Backgrounds and reasoning on particular choices made and goes into detail on subjects such as lighting, plants and materials.I own quite a few garden design books and I would definately rate this the best I've seen and just about every design in his books I would rate amongst the best I've seen.
A more elegant modern
