Project Overview

The existing yard lacked structure and purpose. The homeowners wanted a more intentional layout that would define usable zones while maintaining a clean, uncluttered aesthetic.

Client Goals

  • Define clear outdoor living areas
  • Create a focal point for gatherings
  • Improve nighttime usability
  • Keep the design modern but inviting

Challenges

  • Flat site with limited visual interest
  • Need for privacy without heavy screening
  • Ensuring lighting enhanced, not dominated, the space

Our Solution:

We introduced a layered hardscape layout that visually organizes the space while maintaining openness. A sculptural fire feature anchors the seating area, and subtle lighting highlights key pathways and architectural details.
