A place to unwind

Hand-cut and patterned bluestone is both durable and stylish

The clients and their guests intend to spend many hours on their patio. For that reason, cut and patterned bluestone was chosen as a stable and durable material that reinforces the intended character of the space.

A custom fiberglass pergola and solid cedar fencing were used to create a sense of enclosure. The custom pergola defines the overhead plane, establishing a “ceiling” that extends beyond the house and creates a sense of spaciousness.

A raised garden for veggies and herbs

The client wanted a large, raised vegetable garden. To maintain aesthetics, a solid structure and strong skeleton plants were designed to keep the naturally loose style of vegetables and herbs from becoming a jumble. The plants amongst the vegetables and herbs were selected for their visual strength and moderate maintenance.

Functionality meets style and charm

The outdoor living and entertaining space can now accommodate individual and small groups in relative privacy, while the style and design of the landscape reduces the feeling of a small space through harmonious interaction with the house.
