Inspired Outdoor Living
ABOVE: The placement of the pool creates a transition between the farmstead estate and the steep grade of the site. The composition of the materials, landscape, and placement showcases the meadow
behind the home.

FACING PAGE TOP: This exterior design extends the interior living space while tying the backyard to the home's architecture. We implemented symmetry and strong lines to move the viewer's eye through
the space, giving the illusion that the property reaches infinitely beyond a row of native grasses and perennials.

FACING PAGE BOT TOM LEFT: The pergola structure has a canopy of CNC-cut metal panels. The positive and negative space within the panel adds shade as well as visual interest that's in line with the
organic aspect of the design.

FACING PAGE BOT TOM RIGHT: Our goal was to create a cohesive design that unified the entire space yet maintained the naturalistic environment. We accomplished this by using the same materials in a
variety of ways—our palee was small, but the repetition of key materials like Corten, stone, and Ipe was the heart of our design.
