Family room - eclectic family room idea in New York

This custom-built patio in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn features a hot tub, perfect for relaxing and entertaining on cool nights. The surrounding contemporary-styled horizontal wood bench and fence are made out of ipe, a hardwood with a 30-year life expectancy. The patio floor is made from thermal-cut bluestone in large rectangles all the same size throughout. Read more about our projects on my blog, www.amberfreda.com.

A large Japanese maple with planters on top of the fence provide privacy while maximizing the outdoors. A patterned outdoor rug from West Elm allows for barefoot backyard entertaining.

The fantasy of a Brooklyn Townhouse is a bright family house, rich with history but alive with contemporary detailing and furniture. Fantasy realized. This project included shoring the structure and removing the back wall of the house; made more interesting by the open lot next door. Photo: Frank Oudeman Architecture and Design: Aman Architecture

This Boerum Hill, Brooklyn rooftop terrace garden features a zinc fountain flanked by corten steel planters, custom-built ipe wood planters, bench seating, and a bed of Mexican beach stones. Many people enjoy outdoor fountains for the relaxing sound they provide, which can also help to drown out noises from A/C units or other jarring sounds of the city. We also designed these beautiful ipe (pronounced e-pay) wood planters and a comfortable built-in bench with storage under the seats. Check out the before photo at www.amberfreda.com.
