3. Cottage Style Nook

This cottage garden area is meant to take you to a fairy tale. The sunroom is made from recycled windows letting the sun inside and giving the structure a farmhouse look.

The varieties are ornamental to match the overall Asian-inspired architecture and to balance artificial and natural.

9. Calming Nook Under A Pergola

This patio is built next to the house to access it easily. The design features a covered pergola from wood, metal and glass. These materials configure a minimalist look.
