Albany Backyard

A Private Oasis

In this urban oasis located in Albany, we utilized a variety of materials to create a sense of privacy and establish a multi-leveled texture. The compact space is skillfully designed to give the illusion of greater dimensions, featuring distinct zones that enhance both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

The incorporation of wooden trellises, stone walls, and a gentle switch-back path down from the parking area not only ensures seclusion but also introduces depth and interest to the landscape. The enclosed area serves multiple purposes: a quiet seating nook, a hot tub relaxation zone, or a small dining space, allowing residents to enjoy their outdoor environment in different ways. This careful planning transforms a limited footprint into a versatile retreat, encouraging relaxation and connection to nature amid the urban surroundings.
