This Toronto courtyard landscape design is thoughtfully curated to support quiet mornings, mindful reflection, and fireside gatherings, with uninterrupted views to a plunge pool nestled below a covered porch. Designed as an extension of the home, the space balances luxury outdoor living with warmth and intimacy, proving that small urban landscapes can be both highly functional and deeply restorative. Refined materials and fine finishes echo the interior architecture, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection while inviting family and friends to slow down, gather, and reconnect with nature. This courtyard garden in Toronto demonstrates how intentional spatial planning and wellness-focused design can transform compact spaces into immersive outdoor retreats.

Guest house with playhouse/shed. This project was a Guest House for a long time Battle Associates Client. Smaller, smaller, smaller the owners kept saying about the guest cottage right on the water's edge. The result was an intimate, almost diminutive, two bedroom cottage for extended family visitors. White beadboard interiors and natural wood structure keep the house light and airy. The fold-away door to the screen porch allows the space to flow beautifully. Photographer: Nancy Belluscio

The cabana was placed at the end of the pool to provide opportunities for a quiet, romantic getaway. The cabana is enclosed by block wall with an ipe wood veneer. Horizontal shudders are also of ipe. They allow for privacy with air movement (notice the angle of the shudder will not allow visibility into the cabana). The double fabric cabana is grey on the exterior with a white interior. A simple ceiling fan and light illuminates the entire space. The fireplace is precast concrete. It is natural gas with an internal ventilation system. The shower, also shown, is located just to the right of the cabana.

Introducing a dark-tiled wall to a light bathroom is a strategic design move serving as a focal point and evoking a moodier, more intimate atmosphere.

Photography by John Bessler Top priority for this young couple, having recently leap-frogged from cozy salt box to rambling tudor estate, was the creation of a nursery for their first child (arrival eminent!). Next up? Imbuing the grand scale with intimate charm, in a family-oriented common space to accommodate baby plus their three dogs! Blending his love for all things rustic, and hers for a “glam-sophisticate” splash or two, the result is a beautiful and practical space fit for the whole tribe.
