Yard Therapy

Outdoor space adds a whole host of possibilities to your home — and sometimes, those possibilities can be a little overwhelming! When Deena, her husband, and their two children relocated from New York City to New Jersey, they got more space inside and out. The new backyard was a big style question mark for Deena, so she decided to start small by focusing on a small and manageable section of it: the patio.

City living has so much to offer — convenience! amenities! walkability! But outdoor space is often not on the list. So Victoria was determined to make the most of what she had: a small private terrace off her Jersey City one-bedroom apartment.This little nook was a dreamy oasis waiting to happen. It just needed some creative thinking, especially when it came to a rather bulky design challenge: three unsightly HVAC units around the perimeter.
