Case Study: Outdoor Fieldworks

Outdoor Living Retreat in a Gated Community

Our clients envisioned a multi functional outdoor space that blends relaxation, entertainment, and
nature all within the privacy of their gated community. Their goal was to create a seamless extension of their home where they could host friends and family with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, while also enjoying their passion for gardening.

The design needed to balance between hardscape and softscape elements, reflecting a harmony of function and beauty, where structured outdoor living meets the softness of nature. Every detail was tailored to suit the lifestyle of a vibrant, community-focused family.

PROJECT AT A GLANCE

Objectives

The client wanted a comfortable environment where they could host friends and family, cook and dine outdoors, enjoy gardening, and create a safe area for their kids — all while maintaining privacy.

The layout features a custom outdoor kitchen and pergola for entertaining, a cozy lounge area for quiet moments, a dining area, a small garden for their planting hobby, a golf putting area, and a dedicated sand play area for their children. Each zone was carefully planned to feel connected yet purposeful, with seamless transitions between the front, side, and backyard, balancing structure and softness through hardscape and softscape elements.

The result is a warm, livable outdoor retreat tailored to the client’s lifestyle, with the right balance of openness, intimacy, and natural beauty.

Key Features:

• Custom-built pergola providing shade at the dining area
• Seating/lounge area with fire pit and portable umbrella for sunny days
• Custom-built outdoor kitchen constructed with CMU and composite wood decking for durability, with a polished concrete countertop. Equipped with Viking professional-grade appliances — high-performance barbecue grill, side burners, and integrated sink
• Sand play and artificial turf area for children’s play
• Professional-grade putting green
• Front yard steps connecting the front door and side gate
• Custom wood fence that creates transparency between the side and front yards

“We’re so happy with how our backyard and side yard turned out-it’s truly become a beautiful extension of our home. The design thoughtfully brings together all the elements we asked for, from the cozy pergola to the garden, play area, and outdoor kitchen. Thank you for being so patient with all our ideas and helping us turn them into something we can enjoy every day. It’s now our favorite place to relax and gather with friends and family.”
