What you seeA horseshoe gateway in a terracotta wall, framed by a band of cobalt tiles with cream stars. Its heavy wooden door stands open, studded with brass, and through it a green garden shows, with cypresses, a hedge and a blue rill running towards you. A pot of geraniums stands by the step.

What it meansThe garden of the Islamic west is a private paradise behind a wall, and the door in the wall is the moment of arrival: plain outside, green within.

Where it worksDepth, invitation and a strong frame. For an entrance hall or a living room.

A garden hillside seen from a tiled parapet: terraces stepping down towards you, each with its sand retaining wall, clipped myrtle edge and a row of orange trees, cypresses or roses, a white arcaded pavilion on the upper terrace and a red fort with towers on the wooded hill behind, under snow-capped mountains.Terraced HillNo. 19
