Design & Build

THE STORY
Never take a vacation again - this backyard is the destination. Imagine designed this estate to provide the client with amenities for the whole family to escape while maintaining a spacious layout. Mindful activity, smooth transitions, and clean lines create a purposeful design for year-round entertaining. Each element in this project was selected to promote wellness, activity, and connection in the outdoor space.
THE DETAILS
Industria slabs establish a warm and modern arrival sequence, setting the tone for a home-as-destination experience from the front yard onward. Crabapple trees and integrated lighting guide movement toward a floating bridge, where granite fountains and flanking pathways introduce a sense of rhythm and calm through water and structure.
A contemporary porch sits beneath the home’s architectural overhang, anchored by a large fire table and lounge seating that engages the sound and motion of nearby water features. From here, an open corridor lined with espalier trees trained along the walls leads toward the backyard, where slatted pergolas define shaded lounge spaces overlooking a luxurious pool.
Opposite the pool, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen is tucked beneath a ramada, complete with ceiling fans, a dedicated serving station, and additional seating for outdoor dining and entertaining. Descending Raffinato steps, built-in benches frame dual fire pits that anchor a central activity terrace.
Beyond this social core, the landscape expands into a multi-sport recreation zone featuring a full basketball and pickleball court alongside a soccer field, all bordered by dense, intentional plantings that provide privacy while maintaining a strong sense of openness within the overall design.
