Side Garden

The design mandate for this expansive, linear space was to seamlessly blend functionality and elegance, offering a welcoming setting for social gatherings while incorporating refined finishes and a delightful seasonal plant palette. To achieve this, outdoor "rooms" were thoughtfully created: a raised lounge with a fire table and sectional seating anchors the rear of the yard. A long dining table paired with a generous custom-built bench is separated by some fine textured plantings. The warm hues of Adair stone, used throughout, emit a soft, inviting glow, while the variation in paver sizes and textures enhances the natural beauty of the sophisticated material structuring the garden.
