In this small, private terrace garden, the custom-designed planter beds intermixed with pots of varied shape and size help anchor the space to its urban surroundings without feeling contrived. The renovation included new roofing, shade structure, lighting and Ipe decking that turns into a custom outdoor storage bench with a built-in planter box. The scale of the built objects and their accompanying plants creates a seamless marriage between the garden and the city park across the street. This simple, clean layout accommodates an array of different pots and lush plantings without feeling overly crowded.
