This outdoor living area is a cozy harbor, backed on one side by a neat hedge and on the other by a wall of graduated textures: stone, feathery plantings, wooden latticework, and tree branches dotted with fairy lights. With a glowing fire and a starry sky above, the space epitomizes the magic of summer nights.
