Townhouse Backyard - MANHATTAN, NY
A modern outdoor retreat designed for everyday living and elegant entertaining.
A raised wood deck, stone paving, and built-in planters define the space, while custom benches, a firepit, and integrated seating create inviting areas for gathering. At its center, a full outdoor kitchen with high-end appliances elevates dining and entertaining. New stairs from the kitchen above provide direct access, transforming the garden into a seamless indoor–outdoor living experience framed by layered, lush plantings.
Subtle yet impactful lighting was carefully integrated throughout the space to extend usability into the evening hours and highlight key features. Warm LED strips under benches, step lights for safety, and soft uplighting on trees and plants create a layered, atmospheric effect — enhancing both function and mood. The result is an inviting nighttime garden that feels both intimate and refined.
This project is currently in progress - final photography is coming soon.
