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.
