Outdoor Living
A terrace doesn't have to be purely rectangular. Zigzags add a rhythmic delight to the traditional backyard.

Functional Backyard Patio
Just as with an indoor room, the outdoor living space is divided into zones for eating, cooking and conversing with a practical hardscape floor and plantings to soften it.

Casual Outdoor Seating
Colorful seating and umbrellas add an important pop of color to the stucco house and gray terrace.

Lush Plantings
To fit with the more casual mood, Lucchetti arranges the terrace slabs in an untraditional pattern. He also saves lawn around the concrete terrace as a soft border but also for children's play.

Dining Al Fresco
Mimicking a low wall, evergreens frame a small seating grouping for intimate conversations or meals.

Flagstone Patio
Keeping a tiny bit of space between some of the flagstone pavers allows them to double as a pathway within the terrace.
