Design ideas for a large contemporary landscaping in Dallas.

This interdisciplinary project was a delight to collaborate with colleagues in architecture, interior design, and the client to build a luxury dream home landscape for this growing family. We focused on creating an interconnection between indoor and outdoors through a cohesive design. This project became a stately home that now sits proudly amongst other historical architectural gems in the neighborhood. Our team designed multiple terraces and outdoor living spaces, including a roof deck with porcelain tiles, custom planters, privacy screening, and fire features. An aluminum pergola system with lights and heaters was added to create an outdoor dining space to the terrace adjacent to the kitchen and primary living room. To top it all off, we added an irrigation system to the entire property to keep the landscape looking green and lush year-round.

Projects like this Northwest Austin outdoor living room really allow us to feature so many elements of design - a kitchen island, planters, shade structures, privacy screening, lighting, high-quality carpentry, and masonry. The gentle curves of the richly stained and scored concrete patio provide a visual break to the angularity of the roof lines.

The design for this formerly cramped, unattractive and unprogrammed roof terrace was approached as an opportunity to create a lush, sophisticated outdoor room. The worn decking was replaced with lightweight slate roof pavers and the preimeter was provided with a fully customized installation of ipe planters, benches, screens and an outdoor kitchen, all precisely tailored to the space.

Expanded the patio and constructed a cedar pergola. Curtain rods and lighting were incorporated into the pergola design creating a warm comfortable experience.

The frontyard features a natural stone walkway that leads to the solid natural stone front steps. The first stair landing connects with a custom Thermory and steel bench. A small lawn area and mixed plantings fill the rest of the space. The backyard features a walkout basement that is covered with stadium stairs made up of solid natural stone. The stairs make ample space for herb filled pots. The final elevated step makes a bench for a small dining area. The upper terrace includes a decorative Cedar screen and raised planters for larger specimen trees. Beech hedging surrounds the yard with a specimen London Plane Tree and forest like under plantings.

These homeowners enjoy tending their favorite plants, so we integrated a planter along one whole side of the concrete patio. We also built a custom trellis for them along the wall at the other side of the patio. To make watering their plants super convenient, we added a custom access spigot on the patio.

This is an example of a modern landscaping in Toronto.
