DIX HILLS, LONG ISLAND / COMPLETE BACKYARD CASE STUDY

A BLANK BACKYARD. A MIAMI-INSPIRED ESCAPE.

The client wanted to walk out the back door and feel like they had left Long Island for a modern resort. The entire property was designed around that experience.

THE PROJECT

NOTHING IN THE YARD HAD TO DICTATE THE DESIGN.

This Dix Hills property started as a blank slate. The goal was a modern, resort-like backyard with a custom swimming pool, dramatic fire and water, a covered wet bar, entertainment systems and lighting that completely changes the atmosphere at night.

NOTHING IN THE YARD HAD TO DICTATE THE DESIGN.
3D VIRTUAL DESIGN → FINISHED BUILD

DESIGN THE EXPERIENCE BEFORE CONSTRUCTION.

Our design process lets the client understand layout, relationships and major materials before the build begins — then the field work turns that plan into a real outdoor environment.
