Adjective phrase "private" placed in post-object position only creates one interpretation. The structure of adjective phrases (and of all other phrase types) can be represented using tree structures. There are two modern conventions for doing this, constituency-based trees of phrase structure grammars and dependency-based trees of dependency grammars. Both types of trees are produced here.

The following trees illustrate head-final adjective phrases, i.e. adjective phrases
