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.
"Positive Vibes!!" transports you to a private club-like oasis right in your backyard, merging entertainment with relaxation in a family-friendly setting. This expansive project centers around a large free-form pool with a sloping bottom and splash deck, designed to cater to both energetic gatherings and serene afternoons.
A built-in spa and a stylish pool bar enhance the resort feel, inviting guests to relax and socialize while enjoying the water. The surrounding patio and pool deck are crafted from natural stones and interlocking stone, providing durable yet attractive areas for sunbathing and poolside lounging. Adjacent to the pool, a spacious barbecue area is set on a wooden deck, offering a perfect spot for grilling and dining under the stars.
The garden incorporates low-maintenance plantings that add a touch of greenery without requiring extensive upkeep, surrounded by a carefully designed hardscape that includes retaining walls and a protective fence. A charming gazebo offers an additional covered space to escape the sun, making this backyard not just a place to relax, but a complete outdoor living space tailored for enjoyment and relaxation. "Positive Vibes!!" epitomizes a club-like atmosphere with all the comforts of home, designed to generate memorable moments with family and friends.
