1950s home design photo in Atlanta

Perched atop a garage on the second floor of a newly built condo, this expansive rooftop in Carroll Gardens felt almost too vast to comprehend. The design challenge was to create intimacy and human scale. A figure-eight path guides movement through a series of distinct garden rooms. Crisp, angular planters—some sunken, others raised—establish a dynamic visual rhythm that plays with elevation. A custom pergola defines the dining zone, while a built-in bench and L-shaped sofa create a quiet corner ideal for working outdoors. Year-round visual interest was a priority, especially from the interior, so conifers and ornamental grasses provide structure through the winter months.

Playfully dubbed the "Cedar Wonderland," this Carroll Gardens duplex received a renovation overhaul with a nod to Japanese design on both upper and lower outdoor spaces. Minimalist bamboo fills an insulated cedar planter amidst cedar decking and fence on the upper level. Woodland understory plants mingle with upward reaching vines and sculptural trees and shrubs on the lower level. We can't wait to see the walls covered in green a few seasons from now.
