NE 22nd Avenue

The homeowners of this beautiful early 1900’s craftsman home in NE Portland wanted to transform it’s small back yard into an entertaining space for friends young and old. They wanted a modern, contemporary design that enhanced the compact space.

This landscape features a linear concrete patio and a cascading deck with built-in planters.  For privacy, it features a concrete retaining wall and bamboo planter. The metal pergola brings light and openness to the space. The attached wooden bench complements and softens the steel. We love how this novel design mixes form and function with nature.
