My Great Outdoors: Third Nature Studio's Roof Deck

Name: Third Nature Studio
Location: San Francisco
Type of space: Roof Deck

Tell us about your outdoor project and how you enjoy it: This tiny roof deck was revamped with a small budget, and reusing and recycling existing planters, sculpture and moving some indoor furniture outside. All of the plants are low maintenance and low water.

How did you create it?:
With a simple plan, I rearranged a hodge podge of junky old planters on the deck into a more "living room" style arrangement. Outdoor banner fabric was hung on an unsightly wall, and planters were grouped for greater impact.
