Outdoor Side Yard Walkways Vertical Fences, Walls Hardscapes Shrubs Design Photos and Ideas

A redwood deck, easily accessed from the living areas, is a nice spot for alfresco meals or outdoor hangs, with views overlooking the hills and city lights.
The outdoors are part of the cohesive design, embracing the vegetation, sites, and sunlight.
According to the architects, "the spatial arrangement of the ‘pocket’ courtyards is also driven by environmental concerns: the building is teased apart to maximize winter solar penetration and to capture prevailing cooling breezes."
The courtyard has a serene sitting area and frames views into the house and straight through to the other side.
