Example of a transitional formal and open concept light wood floor and beige floor living room design in Dallas with white walls, a standard fireplace and a stone fireplace

This is an example of a craftsman front yard concrete paver driveway in Miami.

This patio has the same travertine that is in the yard. The coffee tables made of wood tie the wood in the yard together to create unity in the design. There are also curtains tied neatly to the columns of this porch to create privacy as well as protection from the sun!!!

An open plan is organized by way of a central spine, contributing to the ephemeral barrier between inside and out. William Lesch Photography

The homeowners desired a luxurious backyard in which they could relax with friends and family. We designed and installed a rectangular pool which includes four deck jets, a quartzite patio, fieldstone walls with a built-in water feature, an extra-large ground-mounted umbrella, and landscape lighting for ambience. Quartzite was selected for the patio both for it’s interesting appearance and its ability to stay cooler in direct sunlight than other natural stone materials. In conjunction with the landscaping, we coordinated with the homeowners and the architect in the installation of the cabana. The deck was pre-existing and not part of the design.

The homeowners desired a contemporary-style landscape design for their three children to enjoy now and in the future. The two elements they wanted included in their design were a swimming pool and an outdoor living space. We designed and installed a rectangular swimming pool, a square pergola with a louvered roof, and a rectangular-style outdoor gas fireplace with a natural granite veneer. For the pool patio, we selected quartzite for its interesting appearance and for its ability to stay cooler in full sun than other natural stone products. There were numerous large specimen trees on-site prior to our design. These were transplanted and utilized in the new planting design. Low-voltage LED landscape lighting was added for ambience in the evening. Front Door Photography

Drawing inspiration from the traditional design of the house, Juergen’s team utilized bold linear elements like a rectangular pool with cascading water features to provide an elegant contrast to the landscape. Subtle details such as rectangular flower beds, an interlocking stonework design on both the patio and pool deck, and the patio furniture abound, providing visual balance and symmetry that accentuates the elegant simplicity of this unique landscape. Finally, the large patio with a built-in barbeque for entertaining unites the various elements of this design, making it a zen space for relaxation and play.

Another view of this inviting backyard. Proving again that a small space can deliver a big impact with the right design and materials.
