A painted steel gate and steel planters anchor the formal entry to this estate. While the anchoring features are masculine and bold, free flowing plant materials soften up the entry space. Synthetic lawn and gravel bands provide maintenance free interest on the ground plane. Photo by Rachel Paul Photography

Design ideas for a coastal full sun backyard formal garden in New York for summer.

This captivating backyard by Alterra Landscaping, a masterpiece from a leading landscape architect, is the pinnacle of outdoor living. The expansive paver patio is covered by a custom pergola with a ceiling fan and integrated lighting. The space is anchored by a magnificent stone fireplace with a TV, surrounded by a comfortable lounge and a separate dining area. A full outdoor kitchen completes this luxurious, multi-functional space, perfect for any occasion.

This cozy lake cottage skillfully incorporates a number of features that would normally be restricted to a larger home design. A glance of the exterior reveals a simple story and a half gable running the length of the home, enveloping the majority of the interior spaces. To the rear, a pair of gables with copper roofing flanks a covered dining area that connects to a screened porch. Inside, a linear foyer reveals a generous staircase with cascading landing. Further back, a centrally placed kitchen is connected to all of the other main level entertaining spaces through expansive cased openings. A private study serves as the perfect buffer between the homes master suite and living room. Despite its small footprint, the master suite manages to incorporate several closets, built-ins, and adjacent master bath complete with a soaker tub flanked by separate enclosures for shower and water closet. Upstairs, a generous double vanity bathroom is shared by a bunkroom, exercise space, and private bedroom. The bunkroom is configured to provide sleeping accommodations for up to 4 people. The rear facing exercise has great views of the rear yard through a set of windows that overlook the copper roof of the screened porch below.
