This front courtyard flanked by breezeblocks and the living spaces in the back allow entertainment to overflow from the house. The powerful monochromatic color palette from the modern remodel by Borowicz Architecture allows the landscape shades and textures of gravels and pavers to pop, with accents from wood and plants for that dynamic splash of color. In lieu of riverstone, we opted for the use of large-scale basalt in the beds. 

​

The backyard pergola provides a shaded dining space with fans and pendant lighting. The custom outdoor kitchen features a concrete countertop and stained cabinetry that echos the wood stain of the pergola and the accent colors of the home itself. 

​

The scope of the design was limited to just outside the front and back of the house, compacting the intervention in order to maximize budget by leaving the rest of the yard as existing sod.
