Heirloom

The brief pulled a long list of set pieces into one back garden: a pool to swim in, a spa to sit in, a green to putt on, and somewhere to light a fire when the evening turns.

The pool is drawn as a zero-edge rectangle, so the water sits flush with the limestone and reads as a sheet rather than a basin. The spa is raised just enough to spill back into it, faced in glass mosaic that picks up whatever colour the sky is doing.

Stone and fire

Limestone pavers run the full terrace and set the module for everything else. Fire bowls sit on cut stone pedestals at the pool corners, close enough to the water that the flame doubles in it.

Beyond the terrace

A golf green takes the far lawn, and a bronze sculpture anchors the axis so the eye has somewhere to land. Landscape lighting was drawn with the rest of it rather than added afterwards.
