Family-Friendly Backyard Design
A raised platform becomes a stage for children's performances.
Create room to play by keeping furniture minimal on a backyard deck. The cedar backdrop in architect John Tong's yard is used for plays and as a screen for projecting movies. The lattice wall on the far left is painted out in cobalt, adding some unexpected colour. Using patches of sod and precast concrete pavers form a low-maintenance and cost-effective landscape.
