Palo Alto Driveway Garden
The driveway on this lovely Palo Alto site does triple duty as a garden, a patio, and a functional drive. An arbor built across the front of the garage creates a garden cottage effect, while the mural on the garage doors extend the garden scene into the distance, expanding the space. The brick patterns add another decorative element. The gravel area creates a warm inviting patio space in what otherwise is usually reserved for cars. The doors on the garage arbor fold back to allow cars to use the garage.
