FEATURED PROJECT
From Ordinary Pool to Extraordinary Retreat
What began as a simple backyard pool became a resort-style retreat designed for gathering, relaxing, and savoring life outdoors. This transformation brings together crafted stonework, layered plantings, and thoughtful outdoor living zones that flow seamlessly from one experience to the next.
Warm textures, natural materials, and a layout shaped with intention create a backyard that feels elevated, inviting, and beautifully connected to the surrounding landscape.

Designed as a true outdoor escape, this space offers multiple destinations for relaxing and connecting throughout the day. The stone fireplace provides a welcoming focal point, whether for quiet mornings or evenings gathered with friends. Nearby, the outdoor kitchen and dining area offer generous room for cooking, sharing meals, and lingering long after the sun sets.
The materials were selected for cohesion and longevity, blending natural textures with timeless detailing. Layered plantings soften the architecture, lending color and movement while creating a sense of privacy and enclosure. Every feature was crafted to elevate daily living and invite the homeowners to spend more time outside.
Unwind & Take It In
A thoughtful layout ties each element together with ease. The expanded pool deck allows for generous seating and fluid movement, while connected pathways guide guests naturally from one destination to another. Plantings were chosen for year-round interest, complementing the stonework and framing views from every angle.
Above the main living areas, an upper patio provides a tucked-away vantage point—an intimate space to unwind and take in the full experience of the retreat below.
