This Coastal Living backyard is thoughtfully designed to reflect Zuri’s passions and aspirations as a local gallery owner, ceramicist, and advocate for ethical design. Her backyard serves as a haven for growth, connection, and creativity, seamlessly integrating her values and lifestyle. Meandering paths lead to intimate spaces where cozy furniture, soft lighting, and natural materials harmonize with the cliffside’s beauty. Inspired by her love for fresh, local ingredients, a small garden offers a space to nurture her baking and culinary pursuits. Areas for dining and gathering provide the perfect backdrop for sharing meals and memories with her family and friends.

The space also features a lounge and yoga platform with a “butterfly” roof, designed to harvest rainwater and provide passive cooling and heating. The tranquil retreat for mindfulness and physical well-being aligns perfectly with Zuri’s dedication to intentional and mindful living.

Zuri’s deep appreciation for responsible design is evident throughout the backyard, with the thoughtful use of circular materials. Surrounded by her children and friends, Zuri watches the sunset and reflects on the backyard design—a space that captures her vision of connection, creativity, and mindful living.
