Article Abstract:

An untended rear yard of a small town-house was transformed into a beautiful landscaped garden, using plane, simple geometrical designs. A 21-foot-by-9-foot rectangular terrace with lattice camouflaged doors became the dining room and an adjacent 22-foot circular area became the lounge space, resulting in a restful retreat.
