This urban, residential courtyard in the City of Atlanta services a variety of activities: outdoor gathering, through-ways for accessing buildings, dog stops and beautiful, harmonizing vegetation for multi-seasonal enjoyment. A low fountain wall defines the patio space, and paving material is made of granite countertops repurposed into high quality cut stone. This high-use landscape maintains functionality but provides the reprieve and respite of a lush garden filled with native plants for seasonal beauty.
