The Book Club uses a variety of materials and creatively utilizes space to transform a small backyard into an urban oasis. A low concrete wall forms a lounge space with a cantilevered IPE bench and fire pit. Large-format concrete pavers connect the lounge area to a dining and BBQ space, protected from the elements by an overhead louvered roof. The use of synthetic turf, along with native and adapted plant materials, makes this space the low-maintenance, private getaway our client was seeking.

Terrain's Estate Butler division took on this project beginning with design, permitting and engineering through to final completion in less than 7 months. Designed after a boutique organic luxury hotel, this waterfront home provides a lifestyle of its own. Over 80’ of sandy beach, stair access, boat buoy & full SW waterfront exposure. A full backyard renovation boasts of outdoor tropical hot/cold shower, spa, outdoor fireplace & patio/deck niches. The interior was demoed down to the stud framework and features custom beach-inspired details as well as 4 bedrooms , 4 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, elevator & attached studio for guests.

A stunning landscape filled with traditional elements throughout. Knot gardens, formal boxwood gardens with a water feature at the center, dining under a plush pergola, and seating from front to back to enjoy every space. Multiple levels are created in the landscape with raised beds and views from the upper terrace. Extensive perennial beds fill the distance with color and texture. Photo Credit: Linda Oyama Bryan

Design ideas for a small eclectic drought-tolerant and full sun courtyard stone landscaping in Dallas for spring.

With a focus on simplicity, we have successfully converted this backyard into a versatile and functional space, utilizing a modular and contemporary paver design. By strategically placing architectural slabs within the lawn, we have established distinct outdoor rooms that cater to various activities, all within the convenience of a single backyard. The integration of rusted steel and concrete retaining walls not only levels the lawn but also optimizes the available space, providing ample room for the entire family to enjoy.
