For many people, whether they live in private or social housing, having their own piece of outdoor space is as important as a downstairs toilet or a parking space when deciding where to live.

An outside area can be somewhere to grow your tomatoes, entertain your friends or just relax in the fresh air. Architects know that a garden or balcony will make any development more appealing.
