• A Yard of Many Moods (healthandlifemags.com) — A Westwood-based firm, Plan Architecture, designed a compact Township of Washington home whose steep, plain backyard was transformed into a layered retreat with a pool, firepit, outdoor kitchen, and multiple terraces. The project shows how local designers can turn tight North Jersey lots into flexible outdoor "rooms" that feel larger and more inviting year-round.
