Small spaces call for vertical solutions, so we installed trellising and climbing star jasmine to surround the space with walls of green. Two trees, a Stewartia and a Japanese Maple, create light and airy “walls” that shelter and define the deck, dining and fireside areas.
New french doors and a generous deck that graciously flows to the herringbone terrace below enhance the home’s indoor-outdoor connection .
“I was really inspired by the large multigenerational family that would be using this space. I wanted to create a perfect place for them to spend a Sunday afternoon with the whole family.”
