Backbay Courtyard - Boston, MA

This tiny courtyard sits quietly behind this Backbay townhouse. Its' geometric scheme wraps and overlaps the spaces to give room for parking, seating and small gardens. The fences and wall fountain are important vertical features. Inside the courtyard a folding "screen" fence can be pulled over to block the parking area or be left open to add to the patio. A circular staircase leads up to a small deck overlooking the whole arrangement.
