Dining With a View

Sheltered dining gets framed with columns supported by stone piers to add a rustic Mediterranean flavor. A large flowering tree is another focal point for those sitting or relaxing at opposite ends of the yard.

Functional Focal Point

A fireplace is a stunning focal point, while also being a functional place to cook outdoors, from favorite breads to fish.

Light It Up

Night lighting can be discreetly installed along the house or under a terrace roof as Glassman did in this yard.

Keep It Cool

Use a ceiling fan outdoors keeps cool air flowing on steamy days.
