The clients are professionals with a keen eye for detail and a love of art and cooking. On the rear, south-facing terrace, the mandate was for privacy and visual barriers from the houses across the street. New porcelain tile surfacing, custom steel planters and a unique steel and glass water feature were designed to blend seamlessly with the existing railings and architectural detailing, with planting providing visual screening and a green backdrop.The front, upper terrace, which affords an amazing view of English Bay, has become our clients’ favourite evening hang-out. With a full-length outdoor sectional sofa and a custom stainless steel fire pit, they are able to entertain or lounge by the fire long into the evening.

The clients wanted a welcoming front garden entrance which would complement the contemporary furnishings of the interior space. The new garden was designed to be a contemporary courtyard garden, from which one can sit and watch the water wall, pond and unique plantings.Three frosted glass screens are strategically and geometrically placed to provide a visual barrier to passersby, while allowing light through and maintaining the green feeling of the garden colours. New concrete retaining walls were stuccoed and painted to match the house and provide various levels of planting beds.
