From the street this bungalow feels serene and slightly wild. One would never guess how much programing is packed into the back garden. Our clients asked for a covered deck, hardscape patio with shade sails, play space, gardening space, a dog run, and an outdoor shower.
The playscape was designed around existing granite boulders from Eastern Oregon. Each element was placed so the kids can hop, swing, and meander, their feet barely touching the ground.
“I loved the opportunity to bring a wild and natural feel to a small urban space. We added lots of native plants and plenty of edible fruits and herbs for the family to use.”
-Rae, Designer
