Mid-Century Modern Curb Appeal
Ravenwood
Athens, GAWhen the owners of this mid-century home began renovating, they needed a landscape that balanced modern design with essential functionality. Years of stormwater damage had compromised the house’s foundation due to a driveway that funneled water directly toward the structure. At the same time, they envisioned a welcoming front yard that aligned with the home’s architectural character — complete with a fire pit, privacy, and clean lines. The design solution needed to address the site’s grading challenges while delivering on both aesthetic and structural goals.
Lush Outdoor Living Space
Clairemont
Decatur, GAThis project centered on transforming a disjointed and underused backyard into a cohesive outdoor living space that complemented the character of an early 1900s home. The goal was to replace two bulky decks with a unified area that balanced historical charm and modern convenience. Key features included a paver patio, outdoor kitchen, seasonal versatility, green space, and pet-friendly design—all while adhering to strict city ordinances.
