Here are our landscape predictions for the coming year: Natural Feels An outdoor space is already in nature, but imagine maintaining that flow of curved edges, soft textures and all-natural tones to really help connect you with your surroundings. Just like xeriscaping and bioliphic designs, choosing softer-edged products to inspire your outdoor space, including pool caps and even rounded furniture pieces, will help bring nature into even the most technical designs.

Symmetry and structure anchor this view of the pergola’s stone-clad pillars and the vibrant green privacy screen beyond. Our landscape architecture team utilized a row of specimen trees, each precisely up-lit, to provide a living backdrop for the outdoor living area. The contrast between the warm timber beams and the soft, organic greenery is a hallmark of our design+build philosophy. This framed perspective demonstrates how we use technical construction and horticulture to create an intimate, high-end environment.

Aesthetic Value: Owner requested a manor gothic “Munsters” show vibe. We achieved this look with a spider body balustrade panel design. Stair Safety: Meets local residential codes.

Technical Challenge: Fabricating the wood panelized spider railing system required precision compounding uniform accuracy. The balcony also had to blend with the rake spiders.

This Italian pair of minimalist sofa / end tables are a statement of purist design where the simplicity becomes true elegance.

This makes a pair even more interesting. Accompanied by technical sheets as per photograph. Can be purchased individually. These are in our inventory in Italy.

This close-up of our custom steel work highlights the "build" in our design+build philosophy.

At Alterra, we prioritize high-quality materials and technical precision to ensure the landscape architecture remains structurally sound and visually striking for decades.
