Our team transformed this once neglected lakefront cottage into a one-of-a-kind sanctuary to be used as a year-round residence. These creative homeowners were craving an outdoor living space that felt naturalistic while still offering the comforts of an upscale retreat. In response, we designed and curated a fully integrated living space including expansive cedar decking with built-in hot tub that appears suspended over the steep meadow-inspired pollinator garden below. Bluestone steps create a sturdy, non-slip walk down and native grasses and drought tolerant perennials offer screening and a natural buffer to activity on the water; delivering color and textural interest for this unique outdoor retreat all year long.

We built this beautiful fence to replace the previous, but now rotted away fence line, to keep in Ziggy the poodle pup. As always, we used screws and pressure treated framing and posts.

The overall goal of this property is to increase curb appeal and privacy in the front yard and create a tropical entertaining space in the backyard. An Areca Palm hedge is proposed along the roadway for privacy in the front yard. This type of treatment creates a visual buffer with the desired tropical aesthetic. Planter beds are proposed at the driveway along the street as well as in the corner near the intersection. Specimen palms and colorful shrubs are proposed in these beds. A paver patio is proposed off the sunroom double doors with a modern aluminum pergola. A screen wall along the backside of the pergola will block views to the shed while enjoying the outdoor lounge area. A built-in grill area with a bar counter and outdoor dining table is proposed to the right of the lounge area. A paver patio wraps the perimeter of the pool with the opportunity for lounge areas. Plants such as Traveller’s Palm, Foxtail Palm, Blue Capewort, and Coontie have been proposed throughout the yard to achieve a tropical modern aesthetic.
