Design Intent
The "Enchanted Evening" project reimagines a linear, neglected courtyard into a refined outdoor living area that marries historic charm with modern functionality. Guided by principles of design excellence and environmental stewardship, this space now features seamless connections between doors, decks, and patios, framed by elegant materials and thoughtful plantings.
The design incorporates intelligent drainage and state-of-the-art irrigation to sustain vibrant planter beds and mature shade trees, while a custom water feature masks street noise and enhances serenity. Historic Board-approved extensions to the fence and deck respect the property’s character while expanding usable space.
Repurposed materials, passive rainwater harvesting, and dark-sky-friendly LED lighting ensure the project’s environmental responsibility. From its inviting portal skylight to its lush, low-maintenance garden beds, the "Enchanted Evening" courtyard offers a timeless and welcoming retreat.
