This long-range view highlights a masterful use of a narrow side yard. Alterra’s design+build team transformed a utilitarian pass-through into a lush, private corridor. The clean lines of the manicured turf are bordered by river stone and structural privacy trees, creating a soft, green escape. By integrating custom decorative metal screens along the brick façade, our landscape architecture adds an artistic, architectural layer to the space. It’s a premier example of how a thoughtful master plan can turn a secondary area into a primary visual asset.

Strategic night lighting is essential to a high-end master plan. This detail shot captures our professional-grade path lights nestled within the lush perimeter plantings. By casting a subtle, directed glow, we highlight the textures of the mulch, stone, and greenery while ensuring safe navigation through the outdoor living space. Our landscape architecture team prioritizes these subtle technical integrations to ensure the property remains as functional and beautiful at midnight as it is at midday.

Form follows function in this classically designed master ensuite, with lots of utilitarian storage, complemented with delicate details. This once leaky builder basic bathroom, transformed into a bright and beautiful oasis. Taking cues from the home (filled with precious antiques), we brought new life to the bathroom with vintage inspired elements – which can be seen in the detail of the wood vanity, and the soft cloud prints. Large scale, bright white tiles paired with teal glass tiles in the shower reflect the light, giving the illusion of doubling the space, while also adding subtle interest to the otherwise simplistic space.

The modern bathroom is minimal but feels spacious due to the large wall mirrors. The raised alcove shower fits neatly behind a glass wall and the stacked limestone tile unifies the room and accentuates the horizontal lines throughout the design.

A closer view of the details in this modern bathroom reveal a modern light fixture, vessel sink and matchstick tile all accentuating the horizontal lines of the room while the multiple tub fixture combinations promise luxurious bathing.
