Contemporary Outdoor Living

This exterior renovation reimagined a basic suburban backyard into a modern outdoor retreat designed for both relaxation and entertaining. At the heart of the space is a sleek, rectangular pool surrounded by large-format limestone pavers, offering a clean and elegant surface underfoot.

A tiered deck defines two distinct zones: the upper platform features a spacious dining area, ideal for alfresco meals beneath a large umbrella, while the lower level offers a relaxed lounge zone complete with cushioned seating and sun chaises near the pool. Custom-built planters filled with lavender add softness and structure throughout.

With its clean lines, low-maintenance materials, and layered layout, the result is a contemporary backyard that seamlessly extends the livable footprint of the home – designed for both everyday enjoyment and effortless entertaining.
