This courtyard was designed for a couple who had previously completed extensive restoration and renovation of their West Virginia farmhouse. The design was intended to correct uneven terrain between the house and a nearby garden shed with a terraced courtyard that would allow access to each structure at varying entry elevations. The courtyard would further serve as a place for outdoor dining.
The courtyard fence was intended to showcase a treasured garden gate and to allow better management of the clients’ numerous rescue dogs. The dogs could be kept either in or out of the courtyard, which would be located within the larger fenced area that encompasses most of the property.
