Garden Doors

Description

The owners of this urban two-family residence had long wished for a more direct connection from their Dining Room to their private back garden. Torrey Architecture’s design solution was to combine existing brick window openings to accommodate aluminum-clad wood French doors, so that views of the garden are now visible from floor to ceiling. A brick and flagstone landing with iron railings and a projecting copper hood integrate with the Colonial Revival style of the home. Well-loved indoor and outdoor living spaces are now connected for safe and comfortable access, bringing natural vistas indoors and expanding the home’s living spaces into nature.
