The third of a six-part series in which Diarmuid Gavin explores the possibilities offered by the humble patio.

Gavin creates an outdoor lounge for newlyweds Nat and Jem, who wanted to bring glamour to their mundane patio. His design - using glass brick flooring, underground fibre-optic lighting, cottage planting and exotic plants - incorporates elements of both a living room and a party venue, transforming the dull space into a contemporary and stylish development.

In 1956, as Elvis Presley topped the pop charts and Duke Ellington captivated audiences at the Newport Jazz Festival, innovative artists were emerging to develop new directions in jazz.
