As the sun sets, the backyard becomes a magical place where people meet with friends, family, or themselves. Episode 11 of Superscapes' season 2, named "Outdoor Room With a View," shows how a small backyard can become an outdoor sanctuary with a few touches of nature and creativity.

The episode takes the viewers into the backyard of a couple who wants to turn their tiny space into a peaceful retreat. The couple, Angie and Tom, have an incredible view of the city skyline, but their backyard is barely enough for a few chairs and a grill. They want a place where they can relax, read, and listen to music while feeling connected to nature.

Jane Harries, the landscape designer and host of Superscapes, visits the couple to take a look at their space and understand their needs. Angie and Tom explain that they love the city view but want to have more color, more greenery, and a place where they can store their bikes. They also want to add an outdoor shower and a hot tub to create a spa-like atmosphere.

Jane understands their goals and starts sketching a plan on paper while considering the surroundings. She knows that the city view is their most significant asset, and they need to keep it in focus while adding elements that represent nature. She decides to create three different zones; each one will have its characteristics and materials to provide a sense of diversity and surprise.

The first zone is the seating area, which will be the central point of the outdoor space. Jane designs a wooden deck that extends towards the view and creates a seating area with comfortable chairs and a small table. The chairs have bright cushions that match the flowers and plants Jane plans to add. She also installs an outdoor speaker system to provide music and ambiance.

The second zone is the bike storage, and Jane comes up with an innovative idea. She designs a wooden structure that looks like a piece of art with slots that fit the couple's bikes. The structure also has a small shelf and a hook to store the gardening tools. Jane paints the structure in bright red, which contrasts with the green plants and flowers.

The third zone is the spa zone, which combines the hot tub and the outdoor shower. Jane designs a wooden boardwalk that leads to a wooden deck with the hot tub in the center. She surrounds the hot tub with tall green trees that provide privacy and shade. Next to the hot tub, she creates a small wooden wall with a showerhead and a bench to create an outdoor shower.

Throughout the episode, viewers see Angie and Tom's reactions to each step of the design and implementation process. They are thrilled with the ideas and the materials Jane chooses. They love how the red bike storage structure looks in contrast to the greens and blues of the flowers and sky. They also appreciate how the hot tub and outdoor shower create a spa-like atmosphere.

In the final part of the show, Jane reveals the completed outdoor space. Angie and Tom are speechless, and they admit how grateful they are for Jane's work. They describe the space as more than they could ever imagine and thank Jane and her crew for making their backyard a dream come true.

Superscapes season 2 episode 11, "Outdoor Room With a View," is a perfect example of how a small, narrow backyard can become a peaceful outdoor oasis. Jane Harries's design and creativity provide inspiration and a sense of possibility for viewers who want to transform their outdoor spaces. The episode invites viewers to explore the benefits of being connected to nature and how a well-designed outdoor space can enhance the quality of life.
