Courtyard renovation - Complete makeover in half year｜Mid-century Eichler Home Outdoor Living

After moving in for two years, the central courtyard space of our mid-century Eichler home has finally been renovated. Unlike the backyard, the courtyard is more closely connected to indoor living. The big trees, the seasons, and the light have opened up a truly Californian outdoor living life.

搬家2年，我們最期待的院落空間終於改造完成。不同於後院，中庭與室內生活聯繫更為密切。大樹、四季與光，開啟真正意義上的加州生活。

I would choose this hand crafted house filled with 心思 and 愛意 over any million dollar villa.

That void in the gate, brings me so much joy. I would never have thought of something like that, your eye for integrated design is just so beautifully tuned.

Not only that the result is amazing, but the effort you put into filming and editing really made this video a delight to watch. Thank you and enjoy your hard work with the beautiful courtyard ❤

The best part of the reveal was the adorable baby! Love your new outside room!

A little tip about subtitles in video, since there is no audio dialogue, all information are through visuals subtitle, however, one common issue about subtitle is the duration is often too short on screen for viewers to read, it does not mean viewers can’t read all the words in time (thou sometimes that could be the case) but rather, viewers are busy chasing the subtitles and end up missing everything else showing on screen, when a video editor synchronize the subtitle track, he/she always read through it as the video plays and think the duration is okay, but that is because he/she already know the script and the subtitles, for viewers who watch the video and read them, they have no idea what’s going appear on screen and they have to read AND comprehend, while also want to capture all the moving visuals on screen, and it could lead to fatigue, or at the very least, viewers have to keep pausing the video to read in order not to miss either the subtitle or the video itself. I hope you can consider this in your next video, it’s a shame you have such great content and well produced video but plaque by this small issue. Keep up the great work anyway (:

You truly show us the process of make over which is greaaat! Really enjoyed your video.

[suedesilva]

Congratulations on your space and your little one.

[jessi]

It's so crazy your yard was split apart with a fence in the middle! My favorite part was the removal of the fence. But also the ingenious designs of the fence gate and the shelving! The whole space is peaceful and purposeful.

[sydneyevans]

The diffused light in the gate is a great design. Understated but a feature guaranteed to catch your eye. Nice patio!

This reminds me so much of the 2 Eichler homes I grew up in, in Palo Alto.
