This landscape revitalization transforms a highly ornamental waterfront property at the edge of Richardson Bay into a series of simple, airy outdoor rooms that frame views, weather, and daily life.
The design responds to salt air, strong winds, required sight lines, and complex drainage conditions. A courtyard pool and drainage system were reworked with large-format tile at the deck and coping, while wood decking and railings were upgraded throughout.
A simple rectangle of turf creates flexible play space, bordered by a new fence incorporating a clock and recessed chalkboard while screening the neighboring trellis. At the street, custom steel planters and a trellis soften the building and create privacy with minimal means.
JBLA prepared design, approval, and construction documents and provided job-site observation during construction.
