A Contemporary Backyard in Florida Features Multi-Levels
This home has an impressive backyard which is also very inviting and relaxing.
Designing the backyard can be done in many different ways. This would depend on the size, shape and style of the area. There are even small backyards that can still look really beautiful. The usual technique being used in order to make the backyard more attractive is by adding different levels. By doing this, it will bring depth and height to the area. This is what designers did to this contemporary backyard in Florida.
A house which is currently for sale in San Francisco features a small backyard behind it.

Now this is the backyard of the home. You can see that there is an elevated area hold the dining area and a lower area which is for additional seating. With this kind of planning, the backyard looked really nice and inviting. It would be awesome to entertain guests in a space like this.
A closer look at the elevated portion of the backyard. At the end of the stairs, one can step down to the dining area with a fireplace, that’s slightly raised from the outdoor lounge, allowing the dining area to be clearly defined. Also seen here is a modern fireplace.
At the back of the yard, there are also tall trees that will grow to provide shade and privacy to the space which is very important.
You can see here that the backyard can be directly accessed from the living area at the top floor and the bedrooms on the ground floor. Looking at this, we are given a hint that the layout is different since the private areas are the lower portion.
