Patios

The courtyard lets the reimagined addition live as a "modernist ruin," with vines encouraged to grow and further blur the boundary between inside and out. The outdoor table and chairs are by Tait.

The garage door was replaced with a new entry to the building, featuring a custom steel canopy over the front door. The door is painted Benjamin Moore Flamingo's Dream to better contrast with the black-stained, tight-knot vertical cedar siding.

The slate floors continue seamlessly to an outdoor dining and living area outside of the kitchen.

The fire pit is made of board-formed concrete with Cor-Ten weep holes for drainage. For more info: www.howellsarc.com/pro...

The cedar fence that surrounds the yard was custom-designed to ensure privacy from all vantage points.

The gap between the house and the fence creates a small patio with space for raised bed vegetable gardening.
