I started with the same awkward side yard every time and used ChatGPT to explore just how much potential could be hiding in a space most homeowners completely ignore.
You’ll see 15 different courtyard transformations, from lush and cozy garden retreats to polished outdoor living spaces. The challenge was simple: work with the space we actually have. The house, fence, basic dimensions and narrow configuration remain the constraints.
This isn’t about building an imaginary backyard that would never fit. It’s about using AI to visualize what an ordinary, overlooked part of a property could actually become.
If you have a weird side yard, concrete patio, awkward backyard corner, dated room or some other space you have no idea what to do with, this is exactly where AI gets interesting.
