Terrace & Tide: A Naturalistic Yard Project

Terrace & Tide: A Naturalistic Yard Project

This extensive naturalistic yard project transforms the coastal property into a luxurious, multi-zoned outdoor retreat. Inspired by traditional coastal architecture and the serene natural surroundings, the design prioritizes indoor-outdoor flow, maximizing the stunning ocean views, and establishing multiple settings for dining and relaxation. White stucco walls and raw wood accents provide a timeless foundation for the lush, carefully curated tropical greenery.

Key Features of the Terrace & Tide Project

• Oceanfront Dining Terrace: A flagstone patio situated right on the water's edge, featuring a large wooden dining table shaded by mature trees—the perfect setting for al fresco meals.
• Architectural Swimming Pool: A long, sleek, linear pool visually connects the main house façade to the landscape, framed by manicured lawn and comfortable sun loungers.
• Covered Lounge Pergola: A dedicated outdoor living room area featuring generous built-in seating, protected by a rustic, slatted wood pergola structure.
• Private Courtyard Kitchen & BBQ: A sheltered inner courtyard space designed for intimate gatherings, complete with a built-in outdoor kitchen/grill area and an adjacent dining space.
• Traditional Coastal Architecture: The exterior design is complemented by materials like white stucco, dark wood shutters, and lanterns, which establish a rich, traditional, and authentic feel.
• Lush, Layered Landscape: The planting scheme focuses on large, tropical foliage like Strelitzia (Bird of Paradise), various grasses, and succulents, creating vibrant color and texture against the white walls.

The Terrace & Tide project delivers a complete outdoor living experience, perfectly balancing the desire for luxurious modern amenities with an authentic, naturalistic, and timeless coastal style.
