This garden is a perfect example of contemporary city design for a small space. Two custom built hardwood planters provide some height and depth to the narrow front yard. While the tile walkway is set on a stable concrete base ensuring safe passage in and out of the home in both summer and winter. The private back yard maximizes space by using a custom built hardwood table as both an architectural piece that defines the firepit area, and an optional servery for larger dining parties.

A Mercer Island couple wanted to transform their yard from mushy lawn into a more usable, beach-like space. We added new concrete pads to connect the stairs to the waterfront complete with salvaged, cedar logs around a deconstructed wood-burning firepit, invigorating the space and creating a place to relax and entertain right on the water. Closer to the house, an ipe deck built around a new Paloform gas firepit created a new outdoor room for enjoying endless summer evenings. LED landscape lighting completes the improvements.

Un projet de 500m2 avec de multiples espaces de vie, réalisé en étroite collaboration avec le pisciniste ATLANTE-PISCINES. • UN LIEU D'ACCUEIL Afin d'accueillir confortablement les usagers, un cheminement en pas japonais a été réalisé en Travertin, une pierre naturelle calcaire, afin relier l'espace stationnement à la maison. Un tout nouveau perron fait son apparition, en agrandissant l'existant et en le redessinant. Il a été également habillé de dalles de Travertin de grands formats. Les contremarches ont été peintes d'une teinte foncée pour se lier à la maison. • UN COIN CUISINE SUR-MESURE Un espace pour cuisiner a été réalisé dans le prolongement de la véranda en bois exotique et bois blanc. Il se présente sous la forme d'un "U" pour être très pratique à utiliser et propose de multiples fonctions : - Un espace plancha - Un espace Kamado (le barbecue œuf en céramique) - Un espace confection en inox brossé. - Un mobilier de rangement - Une table haute/bar pour - Un éclairage d'appoint en LED intégré au mobilier Un arbre intégré à la cuisine vient apporter du végétal et faire l'ombre à l'espace qui vient accueillir une table haute et des tabourets. Une grande terrasse en IPE vient accueillir un espace salon ainsi qu'une table pouvant accueillir 10 convives. • UN COIN PISCINE Le pourtour de la piscine a été traité pour permettre l'accès direct à la piscine, dans le prolongement de la maison. - Une terrasse en pourtour de la piscine pour installer le mobilier. Le bois utilisé est le CUMARU, un bois exotique idéal en bord d'eau. - Un salon en contrebas autour d'un brasero (coin feu) pour les soirées d'été entre amis. La banquette vient proposer un dossier en angle. Des marches viennent permettre la descente et l'ensemble à été réalisé en CUMARU. • UN LIEU DE STATIONNEMENT L'espace voiture a été volontairement isolé à l'aide de plantations qui viendront créer un écran végétal au fil du temps. • DES PLANTATIONS LUXURIANTES Ce jardin naturaliste vient accueillir des rocailles et des plantes qui viendront fleurir au fil des saisons et/ou proposer des feuillages qui viendront se colorer au fil des saisons. Les fleurs se veulent mellifères pour attirer les insectes et des fruits viendront nourrir les oiseaux. Un jardin à l'aspect sauvage mais contenu dans des massifs dessinés au cordeau. ————————————————————— LES MATERIAUX • Le CUMARU et l'IPE : bois des terrasses, banquette et cuisine • Le TRAVERTIN : pas japonais, contour de piscine, perron • La roche DAKAR : une roche foncée qui vient contraster avec le calcaire en Travertin, paillages de massifs et rocailles LES CHIFFRES DU PROJET • Surface totale du jardin : +/- 500m2 • Budget alloué : +/- 100.000euros (hors piscine) LES ARTISANS • Projet complet (hors piscine) : ATDD&CO • Lot piscine : ATLANTES PISCINE

This large property was a blank canvas when Pro-Land was hired to complete the design and build for this backyard retreat. Initially, the clients had just wanted a small outdoor space with a kitchen and a cabana with a fireplace. As the design progressed things changed; a secondary covered structure was added to the kitchen, and the patio was expanded to include a concrete pool. The natural stone fireplace in the cabana is a focal piece in this backyard. The wood and natural stone along with a crackling fire create a comfortable and cozy space to relax on those cooler summer nights. Raised planter boxes frame the path to the pool, separating the spaces while creating a cohesive feel through the use of materials. Truly an entertainers paradise, the yard features a gunnite pool complete with hot tub and tanning deck, a covered outdoor kitchen & bar, custom wood burning fireplace, and modern cabana finished with automatic roller screens, and sliding glass doors.

Contemporary Garden with a Fire Feature Ideas and Designs

A beautifully designed contemporary garden is as important as the emphasis we place on the designs of our interiors. After all, our grounds (however modest) frame our homes and contribute to first impressions not only of our houses, but also of the households within. Options for garden designs can be as elaborate or low maintenance as your lifestyle and preferences permit – consider both your aspirations for how it should look and how much time you can invest in garden maintenance. Consulting a gardener or landscape designer will ensure you have a garden that suits your lifestyle, the local climate and soil conditions. But don’t forget that with Houzz your first stop can be collecting images of garden ideas and designs you love in order to inspire your garden plans and potentially share them with a landscape gardening professional.

How do I come up with a contemporary front garden design?

The priority for a front garden is kerb appeal. Begin by considering the area immediately around and leading up to your front door. You may want to opt for front garden designs that blend well with the style of your home – for example, abundant foliage and flowerbeds will perfectly complement a period property, whereas man-made materials, geometric shapes and contrasting textures are great ideas for a contemporary garden design. Even if your front garden is a small space, keep it tidy – if you have more space, make the most of it with garden ideas and features such as a manicured lawn, gravel driveway, water feature or garden fencing. If you don’t have the time or commitment to devote to gardening, then neatly pruned hedges, statement paving, hanging baskets, garden benches and outdoor lighting are all decorative, low maintenance garden ideas for your contemporary front garden design.

How should I design my contemporary back garden?

Back gardens typically offer more space than front garden designs and serve a more recreational purpose, so it’s important to know how you want to spend time in your garden before you design it in order to build in the features that you will enjoy. If you love relaxing in the garden and dining al fresco, think about patios, decking, garden furniture and BBQs. For the more horticulturally-inclined, incorporate flower beds, greenhouses or vegetable garden designs. Your landscape gardening professional can help you install structures such as sheds, pergolas and gazebos that complement your garden design, and artfully-placed garden ideas such as lawn edging and lighting will add definition to your chosen design.

How do I create a low maintenance garden?

The great news is, gardens aren’t exclusively for the green-fingered. Whether you’re not horticulturally-inclined or simply don’t have the time for a bit of landscape gardening, you can still have a contemporary garden design that looks the way you want by making some smart design choices. While many of us favour low maintenance gardens like urban gardens, roof terraces and patio gardens, lovers of greenery don’t need to sacrifice grass for paving slabs. Whatever you want from your garden, there are a variety of gardening solutions that can be built in to make life easier. For example, labour intensive features such as vegetable patches, greenhouses and flower beds can be optimised with an automatic irrigation system. These can be offset with fuss-free garden ideas such as hard landscaping, including gravel, paving or decking, and hard-wearing evergreens that require minimal upkeep. You might even consider replacing your garden fencing with slow growing hedging, which can be maintained less regularly than wooden fence panels. If having a lawn is important, there are different types of grasses in varying degrees of durability and maintenance. You may choose to take a more relaxed approach to your lawn – “wild” garden designs can have great charm if the grasses and flowers are chosen carefully. If you prefer a manicured lawn, it’s a good idea to invest in a “mulching” lawn mower that will recycle clippings and remove the need for cleaning up. Finally, there isn’t a more low maintenance garden lawn than artificial grass which can look highly realistic and keep your garden looking green. Garden ornaments are a great way to add interest to your low maintenance garden design – go for smart garden ideas such as solar garden lights which are both decorative and functional.
