Tucked within the established neighborhood of Bonnie Brae, this modern farmhouse landscape is a sophisticated expression of contemporary outdoor living, intentionally blending exquisite materials, architectural details, and lush planting.
At the heart of the backyard, a heated porcelain patio elegantly frames the pool, creating an inviting setting for year-round entertaining. A custom wood bench, deliberately integrated with concealed storage and towel hooks, combines functionality with tailored craftsmanship, while a striking double-sided fireplace creates a dramatic architectural focal point and connects multiple outdoor spaces.
The outdoor kitchen and dining area are positioned beneath a louvered metal pergola, complete with custom lighting and outdoor heaters. Designed for four-season enjoyment, the space offers a beautiful setting for everything from intimate dinners to larger gatherings. A lush green wall provides privacy and a richly textured backdrop, softening the contemporary architecture while enhancing the sense of enclosure.
Beyond the kitchen, a separate fire pit lounge creates a homier destination for evening gatherings. Custom raised metal planters define the perimeter, introducing layers of ornamental planting alongside dedicated vegetable gardens and adding warmth and dimension to the modern landscape.
The front landscape establishes an equally characteristic arrival experience. Large, poured-in-place, sand-finished concrete steppers create a bold yet welcoming approach to the home, leading to a porcelain-tiled front porch designed for additional seating and outdoor enjoyment. A custom privacy screen completes the space, balancing openness with a sense of intimacy.
From the precision of the hardscape to the lighting, custom metalwork, and layered planting, every detail was selected and placed to create a landscape that is both highly functional and distinctly luxurious.
“We spent nearly two years creating our outdoor living space, and while I came to the project with a very detailed vision and design, Myles was a great partner in bringing it to life. Throughout the project he was responsive, communicative, and genuinely cared about getting things right. Whenever something wasn’t quite where it needed to be, he never hesitated to come back, make adjustments, and continue working until we were happy with the result. That level of accountability is something we really appreciated. Large construction projects inevitably have challenges, and what stood out most to us was Myles’ character. He was honest, hardworking, respectful, and easy to work with from beginning to end. Having someone who truly cared about the project made the entire experience far more enjoyable. We love the outdoor space we created together and are grateful for the time, effort, and dedication Myles and his team invested in helping make our vision a reality”
