Designed for effortless summer living, this outdoor space brings together all the comforts of home just outside the back door. A shaded lounge with fireplace and TV extends the living room into the landscape, while layered plantings and cozy seating make it just as inviting as any indoor space. The pool sits steps away, framed by natural stone and sun-drenched patios that invite everything from morning laps to evening swims. It’s not just a backyard — it’s a lifestyle.

Designed to be a destination, this pool is tucked into a lower courtyard, creating a quiet escape just steps from the porch. Instead of sprawling across the yard, it’s nestled into the landscape, allowing the home’s architecture and outdoor spaces to take center stage. The sun shelf offers a place to cool off without diving in, while the integrated spa and wide entry steps to the left invite easy movement and relaxation. The layered progression from porch to courtyard to water creates natural moments for gathering, lounging, and play. And with a geothermal system that both heats and cools the pool, it’s built for year-round comfort.

Proud to share this project was awarded Gold by SRQ Magazine for Landscape | Pool | Outdoor design — a recognition of both form and function in harmony.

Some views do the design work for you. Perched above the Ohio River Valley, this outdoor space was crafted to frame the landscape. We kept the layout clean and understated, allowing the horizon to take center stage. Intimate seating, just steps from the screened porch, invites slow mornings, lively conversations, and evenings that linger long past sunset.

A backyard designed to feel like a getaway without ever leaving home. This backyard escape blends crisp geometry with soft touches: limestone pavers outlined in lush turf create a playful yet polished patio, while the integrated spa offers a seamless spot to unwind. Dappled sunlight and a shady canopy make it the perfect setting to cool off in the pool or kick back in the lounge chairs all summer long.

Bluestone being carefully laid at the garage apron this week, setting the tone for the home’s old-world charm with timeless materials and crisp detailing. Stucco work on the porch half-wall is also underway, bringing texture and cohesion to the exterior palette. Up next: landscape planting, final punch-out, and a full sweep of finishing touches — from A/V to stair runner. Move-in is just around the corner.

This Sarasota project captures a home designed for effortless coastal living. The pool cage isn’t just a Florida staple, it’s a necessity — keeping out the bugs so you can enjoy the breeze, the sun, and every slow afternoon outdoors. Clean lines, classic symmetry, and a layout that invites you to live outside just as much as in.

An elevated escape. This classic rectilinear pool is perfectly aligned to capture sweeping views of the Ohio River Valley beyond the bluff. Its proportions make it ideal for a retractable cover, keeping leaves out while preserving the clean geometry. Broad, textured concrete decking anchors the space, while a series of wide steps, classical columns, and soft landscape borders frame the transition from home to horizon.

Set within a historic Old Hyde Park estate, this detached pool house was designed to complement and support the existing pool, creating a refined backdrop for extended summer weekends. The structure provides an interior retreat from the heat, while the outdoor kitchen and fireplace serve as a natural gathering point for entertaining. We anchored the design with bluestone and limestone, creating a cohesive connection to the surrounding landscape. A steep Lubiwici tile roof, detailed with copper gutters, adds character and durability. Tuscan columns and decorative corbels frame the covered patio, offering shaded views and a seamless relationship to the pool environment.
