Atlanta Showhouse:
Couple's Night In

The second-level balcony is sheltered by a graceful awning of Sunbrella fabric wrapped on a metal frame.

The residence shares a courtyard with several other townhouses, an arrangement that fosters friendships, Brown says. “This couple might not do a lot of formal entertaining, but I can see friends and neighbors coming over to have a glass of wine. You could open the French doors and sit out in the courtyard every evening. It really is a fabulous community.”
