Tuscan courtyard patio photo in Miami with a bbq area

Blending a modern sensibility with traditional architecture, this garden features a front yard meadow with native grasses (Carex praecracilis) and wildflowers. Poured-in-place concrete pavers in a meandering pattern slow the approach from the sidewalk to the entry. The modestly-sized backyard has been maximized for entertaining with outdoor dining and lounging areas and subtle landscape lighting. Native plants, herbs, and edibles share the back garden beds, and a raised pond brings the garden to life. Photo by Martin Cox Photography.

The goal was to create a hard working kitchen with a nod to a french cafe and plenty of storage for wine. For added interest, and to keep the space light, we painted the upper cabinets a soft white and the lower cabinets a soft greige. The whole look is tied together with a quartz counter top and neutral tile. The mosaic tile has both the cabinet colors and the tile in it to compliment the 3" x 12" subway tile. The custom wood hood keeps the soft white color wrapping around the kitchen. A stainless steel apron front sink and faucet compliment the new refrigerator. Wainscotting on the back of the peninsula finishes off the dining side of the kitchen. Detailed valances, bead board backing, and vintage inspired hardware give the space a french cafe feel.
