Set within a compact rear yard defined by significant grade change, this project transforms a once fragmented space into a highly organized, multi-functional outdoor environment. A central lawn serves as the open core, providing openness and flexibility amid layered amenities. A contemporary pergola anchors the primary gathering area with seating, fireplace, and outdoor TV, creating a multi-season living room scaled precisely to the site. The adjacent hot tub and outdoor kitchen help extend entertaining potential without crowding the lawn. Terraced stone retaining walls embrace the slope, organizing circulation, tiered planting, and integrated water features. A refined palette of natural stone, large-format paving, metal, and warm woodtones unifies the design.
