Two-storey porch, outdoor room

A deep two-storey porch furnished as an outdoor room, with a lounge, a kitchen bar and ceiling fans, opening onto a lawn bordered with hydrangeas and boxwood, teak planter boxes of gardenias and lamb's ear at the edge of the terrace, and a crape myrtle at the far gate.

How this design was made

The before is an AI-generated stand-in, not a customer’s yard. The after is our engine’s unedited Outdoor Living design for zone 8, with the Teak Square Planter Box added by the studio’s own planter step. Every pin comes from our plant-identification pass, never placed by hand, and passes a second, independent check. The close-ups re-imagine what the main view doesn’t show, so a path, a step or a pot can differ.
