Elegant Garden Retreat: A Gathering Space Under the Oaks
Date
July, 2023
Location
Jacksonville, Florida
Role
Designed and Project Managed by Rick Malone
The client envisioned a refined and inviting backyard gathering space where family and friends could relax and spend quality time together. To achieve this, we designed a formal, manicured garden that seamlessly blends structure with natural beauty. Utilizing the shade and presence of mature oak trees and holly, the space exudes both elegance and tranquility.
A key feature of the design is a carefully crafted sightline that draws the eye through the garden, leading to a picture-framed wall at the back of the space. This intentional focal point enhances depth and intrigue, creating a sense of discovery within the landscape. The result is a timeless and welcoming retreat, perfect for intimate gatherings and quiet moments of reflection.
