Designer For This Project:
Helena Carrillo | Design & Permitting Coordinator
Designed to balance modern aesthetics with everyday functionality, this outdoor living space brings together refined materials, custom features, and thoughtfully planned entertainment areas. The result is a cohesive outdoor environment designed for dining, entertaining, and relaxation.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The design centers around a striking geometric layout featuring large-format pavers and artificial turf inlays, creating contrast, texture, and visual interest. An elevated lounge area beneath a modern pergola adds dimension to the space while providing a comfortable setting to unwind.
DESIGN APPROACH
A carefully curated selection of materials brings depth and character to the design. Large-format pavers, artificial turf, complementary hardscape finishes, and a custom outdoor kitchen with a natural stone countertop work together to create a sophisticated and cohesive aesthetic.
MATERIALS SELECTION
THE TRANSFORMATION
