Outdoor Escape

This one-of-a-kind outdoor space was created for a homeowner who didn’t want anything ordinary. Their vision was clear: design a backyard that didn’t look or feel like anything else in the neighborhood—a space that felt timeless, elegant, and truly personal.

Set on a sloped property, the transformation is dramatic. What was once a steep, unusable yard is now a sophisticated yet welcoming environment designed for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying year-round. At the center is a striking, geometric pool and spa—clean-lined and balanced—wrapped in Dekton, a durable material that mimics the look of marble but requires little maintenance. The detailing is meticulous: each piece was carefully cut, mitered, and fitted to give the illusion of thick, sculpted stone.

Surrounding the pool, soft synthetic turf creates a barefoot-friendly lawn that’s green year-round without the need for irrigation—a smart, water-conscious solution that still feels lush and luxurious. The garden features evergreen hedges and structured plantings that frame the space with elegance and privacy, creating a peaceful backdrop that feels both refined and alive.

The design takes cues from the home’s more traditional architecture but introduces a fresh, modern edge through its formality and materials. A custom kinetic sculpture sits at the far end of the pool, catching the light and shifting in appearance throughout the day—adding movement, artistry, and personality to the space.

What makes this project truly special is the balance between creativity and simplicity. Every material and detail was chosen intentionally—to elevate the space while keeping it functional, easy to maintain, and forever unique to the people who live there. It’s a backyard made to be lived in, admired, and remembered.
