At a private residence in Columbia Waterfront, we transformed an exposed, bare terrace into an intimate secret garden. A custom fabricated skeleton provided an envelope of planters and privacy screens. Stained, clear cedar clads most surfaces to invoke a warm,  protected feel. Vines of grape and wisteria will continue to spread and offer shade, while long-blooming pollinator florals and an array of evergreens create a lush feel. A comfortable lounge area, dining nook with built-in storage benches and an outdoor shower complete this urban oasis.
