Daniel Shapiro: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Outside, potted plants give life to the patio. “My idea of gardening is having someone else do it”, jokes Shapiro. He hired Pittsburgh event planner/botanical decorator Thommy Conroy to create a seasonal potted garden that stretches around the brick perimeter. As Daniel describes, “He transformed it into an urban oasis.”
Built over the concrete slab, the flooring of the terrace was Shapiro’s DIY project. The parquet pattern is made up of acacia tiles from IKEA. The introduction of wooden materials makes for a much more tactile experience, and enhances the comfort of the outdoor space.
