PLACEMAKING IN
YOUR OWN BACKYARD

Placemaking can transform your backyard the same way it can reshape a community.

With the right vision, your home’s most popular “room” might actually have no ceiling or walls. Consider how the landscaped environment shown here addresses the key principles of Placemaking.

It’s seamlessly connected to the house with easy access to the kitchen. It’s a natural spot for groups to gather. It creates a wonderful sense of energy, with the stone fireplace as the center of activity. And it nurtures a feeling of intimacy.

More than just a patio, it’s truly a functional room where all guests feel connected, active and involved.
