Project Overview
Project Intent
The clients for Brimwood Residence approached us with a clear intention to transform an underused backyard into a meaningful outdoor living space. They envisioned a lush retreat that could function as a quiet escape while also accommodating gatherings with friends and family. We began by carefully evaluating sun exposure, soil conditions, and the existing site layout. From the outset, the design was guided by principles of sustainability, low maintenance, and the use of native plant species. These early discussions allowed us to establish a thoughtful, site-responsive design strategy rooted in both beauty and longevity.

Key Constraints
Design in Harmony with Nature
For Brimwood Residence, we curated a thoughtful palette of native grasses, seasonal flowering plants, and evergreen shrubs to ensure texture, color, and interest throughout the year. The planting strategy was layered to create depth and a soft, natural rhythm across the landscape. A central stone pathway gently links key zones, including an outdoor dining area, a cozy fire pit space, and a secluded reading nook nestled beneath the tree canopy. Reclaimed wood and natural gravel were used to keep the material language grounded and environmentally responsible. Subtle, low-level lighting was carefully integrated to extend usability into the evening, enhancing both ambiance and safety without disrupting the calm character of the garden.
