The Custom Design Process
Our custom design process begins with your property’s realities and potential. We study how water moves, how light falls, and how you plan to use the space, then create a design that fits naturally and stands the test of time.
- Your property deserves individual attention. Challenging topography, unusual lot shapes, specific views to capture—these require custom solutions rather than adapted templates.
- You have a clear vision that doesn't fit packages. Maybe it's a specific aesthetic, certain features you need, or an entertainment style that demands particular spaces. Custom design builds around your requirements.
- You want architectural cohesion. Your home has specific design language - traditional, contemporary, craftsman, modern. Your outdoor space should feel like a natural extension, not an add-on.
- Premium features matter to you. Vanishing edge pools, custom fire features, high-end outdoor kitchens, architectural lighting - elements that elevate the space beyond functional to exceptional.
- You're creating a long-term investment. This outdoor space will serve your family for decades and significantly impact property value. Getting it exactly right matters more than getting it done quickly or inexpensively.
