Figure 8.15 Trellis protects the vegetable garden in a hot climate.

The screen can be built ten to twenty centimetres from the wall so that a layer of air is trapped between the screen and wall, further insulating the wall from heat radiation. Alternatively, place the screen a metre from the wall and make a sheltered pathway. Either way, protecting walls from direct heat radiation will lower the overall temperature of the house.

Consider children when you are designing the house and garden. Place a play area where children can be seen and supervised from the lounge room, kitchen or wherever adults tend to be at the time. The play or garden areas should be just extensions of the house and just another area where children can learn about and experience life.

The extent and nature of play areas depends on the ages of children or grandchildren. Young children like to hide, while larger children (adolescents) tend to throw or kick balls about, or shoot a few basketballs.

Views overlooking play areas also often have a focus such as a pleasant looking building, a seat, a pond or a particular tree.
