MODERN POOL + TERRACED GARDEN
A complex grade transformed into layered outdoor rooms through stone, wood, fire, water, and disciplined site planning.
Turning Elevation Into the Design
Rather than flattening the property, this Sandy Springs project uses grade to create sequence and discovery. Terraced stone walls, a linear water feature, pool, fire lounge, pergola, kitchen, and garden unfold as connected outdoor rooms.
The Decisions Behind the Experience
Pool + multi-level outdoor living
Terracing, retaining + circulation
Intimate urban entertaining
Three Moves That Bring the Property Together
Terracing That Creates Rooms
Natural stone retaining walls resolve elevation while shaping distinct zones for swimming, lounging, cooking, and gathering.
Movement, Sound + Warmth
A linear water wall introduces rhythm and ambient sound, while the fire lounge gives the upper terrace an evening anchor.
A Softer Architectural Palette
Wood decking and pergola elements warm the stone composition, allowing the hardscape, planting, and structures to feel balanced rather than heavy.
