Garden & Outdoor Living
Gardens, views and outdoor spaces can create moments of beauty, sanctuary and delight—places that draw us outside, invite us to linger and make the everyday feel a little more extraordinary.
Here, we’ll explore how thoughtful choices—from planting and sightlines to lighting, privacy and the practical elements we need— can work together to create outdoor spaces that feel as beautiful as they look.
Philosophy at Work
Create Places to Linger
Use hedges, architecture, furnishings, and lighting to create outdoor rooms that feel intimate, comfortable, and inviting.
Use the Good Stuff
Treat outdoor spaces with the same care as interiors—layering comfortable furnishings, beautiful lighting, and thoughtful details that encourage people to stay.
Celebrate the Everyday
Design outdoor spaces for more than entertaining—from morning coffee on the porch to casual dinners and evenings around the fire.
Shape the View
Consider what you see from every vantage point. Frame views through windows, gates, and garden openings to create connections and moments of discovery.
Graft the Old + New
Let established trees, mature landscaping, and existing architecture provide the foundation for new spaces that feel as though they've always belonged.
Make the Practical Beautiful
Integrate screens, heaters, fans, gates, and other necessities into the architecture so comfort and function enhance rather than interrupt the design.
Design Stories
Real spaces, thoughtful choices and the details that make them feel extraordinary.
Designed to Connect:
A Porch Transformation
From a screened-in porch to an open, inviting space that connects home and garden — see the before and after, the design decisions and the details that brought it to life.
A Place to Linger:
An Outdoor Dining Retreat
Layered planting, architectural details, and thoughtful placement create a private, inviting space for everyday meals and special gatherings.
A Thoughtfully Designed Garden
Defining spaces and combining structure, height, texture and repetition gives the garden a sense of place, creating richness and depth. The result is a relaxing place to gather, with more for the eye to discover and a feeling of abundance.
Beauty, Cultivated.

Explore the design principles behind beautiful outdoor spaces—and discover how thoughtful choices can transform the way we experience them.
Make the Practical Beautiful
Functional elements of a home or garden can also be opportunities for thoughtful design. Everyday necessities can become part of the architecture—adding character while quietly doing their jobs.
Use Scale to Create Impact
Sometimes, one thoughtfully proportioned detail can transform the feeling of an entire space. From oversized lanterns to architectural accents, scale can create presence, reinforce character, and make even the simplest elements feel intentional.
Shape the View
Beautiful outdoor spaces are as much about what you see as where you stand. Thoughtfully framed sightlines, layered landscaping, and carefully considered transitions can draw the eye, create moments of discovery, and connect the spaces around us.
