Beautifully Crafted Moroccan-Style Courtyard in San Francisco

Designer Stephen Suzman created a lush, romantic Moroccan-style courtyard in San Francisco. Wind-protected site offers a warm, secluded retreat. Marble-capped seat walls and hand-painted tile benches invite lingering. Trickling water from a wall fountain flows through a stair-stepped runnel into the patio. A huge mayten tree shades the courtyard; beneath it and in a matching raised bed: abutilon, acanthus, agapanthus, Tasmanian tree fern. Dozens of pots decorate seat walls and patio. Jurors called it “beautifully constructed” and “elegant.”
