FROM OUTDATED TO UNCOMPROMISING

FROM OUTDATED TO UNCOMPROMISING

By maximizing the potential of a challenging footprint, this multi-level backyard transformation turned an aging, unusable space into a high-performance entertainment estate. Every element was intentionally placed to provide a clean, modern, and private sanctuary that balances technical pool engineering with an inviting, natural atmosphere.

The Execution

A carefully curated palette of earth-toned stones and raw textures brings a natural, comforting feel to the “Noir” aesthetic.

Expansive patios featuring Techo-Bloc Blu Grande in Café Crema provide a clean, modern foundation, anchored by sharp Indiana Limestone coping and Brandon Black walls.
A custom-engineered water feature, carved from Natural Armor Stone and Wiarton Slabs, offers a sheer-descent flow that masks suburban noise. Nearby, a natural gas fire table serves as a central social anchor for evening gatherings.
A Cedar Haliburton Series pavilion provides architectural shade, while Rough-sawn Douglas Fir retaining walls manage the site’s elevation with a rugged, organic elegance.

PROPERTY FEATURES

THE POOL

A master-class in technical restoration, the existing pool shell was entirely overhauled and integrated into the new architectural landscape. Surrounded by Indiana Limestone coping, the pool now serves as a high-contrast centerpiece that performs as well as it looks.

DESIGN AND FLOW

We solved for tricky grade differences to create a seamless transition from the home to the patio. The use of Techo-Bloc Blu Grande slabs in Café Crema provides a sprawling, low-maintenance foundation that eliminates the need for grass without sacrificing comfort.

ARTISAN STRUCTURES

A Cedar Haliburton Series pavilion and rough-sawn Douglas Fir timber retaining walls add organic warmth. These vertical elements provide necessary shade and structural integrity while framing the property’s architectural view.
