Some projects test skill. Others demand creativity. And then there are those that push the limits of both, requiring a deep understanding of engineering, landscape design, and architectural harmony. This was one of them. A massive 5500 square meters of built-up area. What began as a steep, unforgiving slope presented both a challenge and an opportunity. The site was originally divided into two distinct ground levels, separated by a massive natural stone retaining wall. Instead of working around the rugged terrain, we reshaped and refined it, turning obstacles into defining features that elevated both function and form. The project unfolded across four carefully planned sections. The front yard and lot set the stage, offering a striking and welcoming first impression. The driveway and back alley required extensive engineering due to the site’s high-water table, necessitating a combination of dewatering techniques and well-executed road formation to ensure durability and long-term stability. The laundry porch was designed to blend practicality with aesthetics, seamlessly integrating into the home’s overall flow. The backyard, with its well-structured subsistence farming garden, provided a lush and functional retreat, reinforcing the harmony between nature and modern living. The standout features of this project, however, were the backyard and front centerpiece. This is where our signature in-situ walkway design made its debut, introducing a timeless and seamless pathway that merged effortlessly with the landscape. Paired with a simple yet elegant patio, these elements created an outdoor space that was as inviting as it was innovative.
