Urban Oasis: a city courtyard garden
This front entry to a Manhattan townhouse is actually outdoors, but gets the indoor treatment by Michael Tavano. He adds a an arched and mullioned mirror to mimic a window, sheer draperies made of outdoor fabric, hardy plantings, a recirculating bronze fountain and an outdoor wing chair with throw pillows. A cozy place to rest, read or greet guests, this tiny space now feels like an oasis. Photo: rick Lew.
