The brief for this landscaping project was to allow the owners to fully enjoy the pleasures of the backyard by creating large spaces around the pool to welcome family and friends. Linearity, large slabs and a choice of plants and textures set the tone for this contemporary project, while the furnishings invite relaxation.
A number of challenges had to be overcome before the dream could become reality… We had to take into account all the customer’s wishes for his dream backyard: in-ground pool, BBQ island, custom cabana, Ipé wood balcony, fireplace and spa area, cedar fence for privacy, heated paver zone, home automation, low-voltage lighting, irrigation and square slabs laid at right angles to the house and pool. To achieve this, we had to manage and work in tandem with a number of different suppliers during the construction phase. In addition to our outstanding construction team, our carpenters were able to create a custom cabana, work Ipé wood for the balconies and contribute to the execution of the BBQ island. We also had to respect the percentage of green space in the layout to meet the established ratio of inert materials versus planting areas/lawn.
The choice of materials and plants was paramount in creating a uniform, convivial space. We opted for the nobility of cedar and Ipé wood, combined with the ambience of low-voltage lighting and the modernity of aluminum pots to create a warm feel to the whole. For the green aspect of the courtyard and its harmonization with the building, our architect opted for planting perennials, shrubs, conifers, trees and ground cover to reduce the amount of water used in the landscaping.
