The different zones enable the separation of functions and make the outdoor living space particularly dy- namic. The most dynamic zone is the dining corner, located at the highest point, while the lounge area, on a lower level, is a private and cozy cocoon-like space. Vegetation and privacy Privacy was a high priority for the owners, given the prop- erty’s location on a street of attached houses. They also wanted to have as much vegetation as possible. After working together on the Ter- rasse Coloniale project, Martine Brisson once again called upon landscape architect Roxanne Miller and her team at Verdigo. The horticulturist opted for low-maintenance flowering plants with a high tolerance for direct sunlight. The plants give a luxurious, whimsical touch to the sleek, contemporary design.
