court side


In the center of The Four Tides is a charming courtyard. Yes, charming does denote small but it is large on quaintness. There are bushes of herbs, a trellis, architectural remnants, the outdoor shower and curvy paths that lead to the cottages. Courtyards are classic, in the truest sense, as they date back to 300 B.C. thus surviving every design trend. I can see why. This is where proposals happen. Or little girls who get lost in their imagination.

On another note just to the right you will see a latticed wall, which is part of Low Tide. This will be replaced by a wall of glass to create an inviting sun porch. Stay tuned...

Glass wall sounds really nice. There is a home by us with one and it looks so nice.

Courtyards have a charm that no one can resist. I can almost smell the rosemary in the photo.

Courtyard beauty to long for. Your birdhouses on the brocante post tells its own story. The glass wall will be a wonderful place to invite the life outdoors in.
