Landscape Design
My goal as a Designer is to bring a unique combination of landscape architecture education paired with knowledge of plants to the table. these designs include planting, patios and driveways, outdoor kitchens and grill units, pergolas, decks, and other carpentry and low-voltage lighting.
Project 1 : Backyard Oasis
This client’s newly built home focuses on creating a spacious, functional backyard that combines relaxation, dining, and greenery. The centerpiece is a large elevated tile space that accommodates a lounge area, outdoor dining space, and a grill, offering a perfect spot for entertaining and enjoying the outdoors. Below, a ground-level patio provides ample seating for gatherings, surrounded by thoughtfully placed planting areas. The design incorporates a mix of evergreens for year-round color and structure, along with perennials that bring seasonal variety. The layout ensures a seamless flow between the different zones, creating a welcoming outdoor retreat that balances style with practicality.

Project 2 : Modern Escape
This design for a single-family home's compact backyard maximizes a small square footage by replacing the existing deck with a two-level structure that blends functionality with style. The second level is designed to fit a hot tub, along with a small walking space for easy access and relaxation. The first level is dedicated to a raised bed for perennials, built directly into the deck to optimize space while providing a beautiful garden feature. The layout also incorporates stairs connecting both levels, allowing seamless flow between the hot tub area and the lush plantings below. This design ensures the small backyard becomes a peaceful, multi-functional outdoor retreat.

Project 3 : Parking Lot Transformation
This landscape drawing reimagines the back of an apartment building, transforming former parking spots into a family-friendly patio area. The design focuses on creating a welcoming, functional outdoor space for residents to relax and gather. Evergreens are thoughtfully incorporated throughout the design to maintain vibrant color and structure year-round, while hardy perennials add seasonal variety. The patio is framed with soft landscaping, including seating areas, walking paths, and decorative elements, ensuring both comfort and visual appeal. The layout prioritizes accessibility and social interaction, providing a peaceful retreat for families within the urban environment.

Project 4 : Curb Appeal
This landscaping drawing features a symmetrical design for the front of a multi-unit building, offering a dynamic yet balanced approach to curb appeal. The plan combines a mix of evergreen shrubs and trees with perennial plants, ensuring year-round greenery and seasonal color. A central pathway runs down the middle, providing easy access while enhancing the visual flow of the space. The symmetrical layout creates a natural, organic feel, with plantings arranged in clusters to provide texture, depth, and interest. The design emphasizes low-maintenance, sustainable choices that add beauty and functionality to the entrance of the building.
