Limited to the confines of a small, suburban back yard, this is patio remodel functions large in a small space. Once visible and sparse, now private and secluded, this back yard, though compact, manufactures a perception of three distinct outdoor rooms within one space, providing a bar area for grilling, a room for dining under the pergola and a place to sit around the warm glow of the fire. At the center of these rooms, a simple waterfall interjects a lively energy, cooling the air and providing a playful backdrop to the murmur of conversation and laughter.
