This compact, urban backyard was in desperate need of privacy. We created a series of outdoor rooms, privacy screens, and lush plantings all with an Asian-inspired design sense. Elements include a covered outdoor lounge room, sun decks, rock gardens, shade garden, evergreen plant screens, and raised boardwalk to connect the various outdoor spaces. The finished space feels like a true backyard oasis.

This Kebony Clear terrace is located in a residential neighborhood in central Munich, Germany. The homeowner chose Kebony decking due to its physical properties, aesthetic and durability. Within one year, the wood developed a silver-gray patina from sun and rain exposure while keeping its hard-wearing properties.
