This newly built estate showcases Modern Gable Architecture, blending contemporary design with natural textures to create a refined yet welcoming retreat. Thoughtfully positioned, the home and pool house embrace the pool area, offering a sense of privacy while seamlessly integrating with the forest-like backdrop beyond.
Designed for a young professional family with a passion for high design, the outdoor space mirrors the clean, intentional aesthetic of the home. The Pinnacle 40 fiberglass pool in Shimmer Sky sits as a centerpiece, its serene color palette complementing the home’s minimalist yet warm atmosphere. An automatic pool cover enhances both convenience and safety, maintaining the sleek, uncluttered look.
Every material was carefully selected to reflect a modern yet organic sensibility. The client opted for composite and porcelain materials that mimic natural textures, offering durability without compromising on aesthetics. The composite decking not only enhances the modern finish but also adds warmth to the space, creating a welcoming contrast against the clean architectural lines. The planting design follows suit—measured, structured, and rhythmic, with an emphasis on ornamental grasses that introduce movement and softness to the space.
Expansive glass openings in the main living areas frame uninterrupted views of the pool, reinforcing the seamless connection between indoors and out. With a balance of precision and natural flow, this project delivers an outdoor living experience that is both visually striking and effortlessly functional—a true reflection of modern luxury in a rural setting.
Nestled in the countryside with expansive agrarian views, this estate project was designed to create a seamless outdoor retreat for a young family. The existing timber frame structure, which houses an outdoor kitchen and fireplace, served as a natural gathering hub, inspiring a layout that enhances both function and flow.
At the center of the design is the Mediterranean fiberglass pool in Graphite Grey, a free-form, organic shape that complements the relaxed, natural surroundings. Positioned parallel to the home and aligned with both the timber frame structure and two water features, the pool offers stunning sightlines across the property.
One of the water features doubles as a jumping platform, adding an interactive element, while the other integrates a gas fire feature, creating a cozy focal point where water and flame meet for an ambient, sensory-rich experience. A separate round spa, located next to the home’s main gathering space, offers year-round relaxation while serving as a visually striking feature.
The pool area is framed by pavers that match the existing materials, ensuring a cohesive look. Beyond the black powder-coated landscape fencing, a wood-burning fire pit provides a welcoming space for larger gatherings, offering a more rustic contrast to the refined poolside atmosphere.
To accommodate the estate’s natural grade, we installed armour stone retaining walls, stepping the elevation down from the pool area to the timber frame structure, and then once again to the fire pit space. Low-maintenance plantings soften the hardscape, keeping the design visually appealing while remaining easy to care for.
This landscape installation seamlessly blends luxury, functionality, and natural beauty, providing the family with an elevated outdoor experience that enhances their countryside lifestyle.
A herb garden that combines beauty, function, and entertainment
Our team transformed a compact backyard into a stunning, low-maintenance oasis tailored for both relaxation and entertaining. Designed for a client in the hospitality industry, this space seamlessly blends functionality with upscale aesthetics, mirroring the welcoming atmosphere of their restaurant.
Situated in a small town just outside the city limits, the property backs onto a large sports facility, creating a unique blend of privacy and openness. The design embraces this setting, offering a refined retreat while maintaining a connection to the surrounding landscape.
At the heart of the design is the Elegance 26 fiberglass pool in Graphite Grey, a sleek and modern focal point. Surrounding the pool, porcelain patio surfaces provide a high-end, durable foundation that is both stylish and practical. To soften the space and reduce upkeep, we incorporated artificial turf, introducing a lush green contrast without the demands of natural grass.
An herb garden allows the client to harvest fresh ingredients for culinary creations, seamlessly integrating their passion for food into the landscape. Seasonal planters add a dynamic touch, evolving with the changing seasons for year-round visual interest.
The composite deck, complete with integrated step lighting, enhances both safety and ambiance, extending the use of the space into the evening. Carefully placed landscape lighting highlights key features, creating an inviting atmosphere after dark.
This backyard installation perfectly balances beauty, function, and entertainment—offering a refined escape designed to impress guests while embracing the natural surroundings of this unique location.
The perfect space for decompressing after a long day
This landscape project centered around creating an outdoor space that blended functionality and beauty, while respecting the natural surroundings. The focal point of the design was the Pinnacle 35 in Crystal Blue swimming pool, which not only provided a stunning visual element but also featured an automatic safety cover for peace of mind.
In the design process, views into the outdoor area were as crucial as those from the outside back into the house, ensuring a seamless connection between the interior and exterior spaces. The client, an avid admirer of Santa Fe-style gardens, requested a space that reflected that aesthetic, infusing the area with rich textures and warm, earthy tones.
The design also incorporated areas for cooking and entertaining outside, making the space ideal for social gatherings. A golf green was added to the landscape, introducing a playful dynamic and offering a fun recreational element to the area. The client valued vistas to the surrounding forest, so the layout was designed to frame these scenic views, creating a peaceful atmosphere that enhanced relaxation.
A dedicated spa area offered a serene, spa-like setting, providing the perfect space for decompressing after a long day. Throughout the entire project, collaboration with the client was key to ensuring that the final design truly met their vision, blending their personal preferences with the natural environment to create a harmonious and functional outdoor retreat.
Atmosphere: A Modern Retreat for Serenity and Socializing
"Atmosphere" serves as a testament to modern design, seamlessly extending the client's indoor renovations to the outdoors with a Leisure Pools Harmony 20 in Graphite Grey as its focal point. Installed in 2018, this pool embodies a minimalist aesthetic, paired perfectly with the calm and peace desired by the homeowner.
The rear space is meticulously organized into functional and aesthetic zones, blending wood structures, stone pathways, and verdant greenery to create a harmonious environment. An inviting pergola stands alongside the pool, offering a shaded area for relaxation or lively social gatherings. The surrounding patio and pool deck, crafted with interlocking stone, provide ample space for late-night barbecues and pool parties, fostering a welcoming atmosphere for friends and family.
Strategic outdoor lighting enhances the space’s modern appeal, illuminating the garden beds and highlighting the pool’s sleek edges after sunset. The landscape design incorporates a flat-bottom lap pool, complemented by a carefully selected array of sod and turf, ensuring low maintenance yet visually striking green spaces. A fire feature adds a warm glow to the evenings, enhancing the serene yet sociable ambiance that defines "Atmosphere."

Centered around a Leisure Pools Pinnacle 40 in Sapphire Blue, this design emphasizes the pool not only as a leisure spot but as an artistic statement visible from the home's interior, enhancing the visual connectivity and appeal.
The garden's layout mirrors the refined quality of the renovated interiors, with meticulous landscaping that includes lush sod and turf, neatly arranged garden planting, and precise hardscaping with interlocking stone. This creates a continuous flow from the indoor living spaces to the outdoor oasis, ensuring that the views are as stunning from the inside out as they are from outside in.
Adding a playful yet stylish touch to the family-friendly environment, there's an owner-crafted container tiny house that serves both as a unique architectural element and practical living space. Adjacent to it, a well-equipped kids' playground offers a safe and inviting area for children to enjoy, making "Sleek & Unique" not just an architectural marvel but a haven for family activities. The design harmoniously balances modern elegance with the warmth and functionality needed for family life.
