A city lot. A family. A desire to both entertain and have quiet space, tobe open to the neighborhood and have privacy. The solution? A custom-designedcedar fence with no gates. A warm brickpath from the alley, a patio with a stone wall for both enclosure andseating. One intimate sitting area and oneoutdoor table for six. Simple plantingsto outline the semi-circles of grass. This is how a small back yard became a comfortablemultipurpose space.
