Jewel-Box Terrace: Big Amenities in 17 by 15 Feet

Who says outdoor living requires space? This cheerful West Hollywood garden, inspired by owner Marcia Smith's Mexican beach resort visit, packs amenities into 17 by 15 feet.

Landscape designers Pamela Berstler and Alex Stevens turned the bare terrace into a giant artwork suggesting water swirling over granite. Colored concrete stamped to resemble granite forms the paving; blue pool tiles are embedded in the concrete. A built-in daybed provides comfortable seating.

DESIGN: Flower to the People, Los Angeles
