TRANSFORMING SMALL SPACES

Diminutive properties offer the opportunity to create cozy and private outdoor lounging spaces. The homeowner wished to add a dynamic backyard hosting area as well as a welcoming front facade. To achieve this, a pale gray and soft blue paver walkway guides guests to the front door and passes through three levels of plantings that add lush greenery to the front yard. Around the back of the home, multiple levels account for the tricky grade change between the patio and the backdoor. Elevated planting beds mirror the garden in the front, creating a cozy getaway without a cluttered feel. In the evening, the outdoor lighting design creates a warm glow to highlight the levels of the patio and keep guests chatting long into the night.
