Design Details: Exterior Spaces

It's the time of year to get outside and soak up the sunshine.  Decks and patios are a great extension of indoor living space and I like to treat them the same way - with some decorative elements to add interest.

When renovating this house, we added a small deck rail detail to the front of the house.  It breaks up the monotony of the railing and adds a small focal point



When tackling a landscape renovation the following year, I love that the landscape designer mimicked the railing design in the new garden gate

  5. The detail on the gate does help to break down the mass of the house - your clients must be thrilled. A wonderful home.
