Turning a Tight Backyard into a Functional Living Space
A tight backyard footprint became a fully functional space through careful layout, smart design, and thoughtful use of every inch.
Problem
The Gargionnes had a blank, boring backyard and a long wishlist of features. With limited space, they didn’t know how to fit it all in without sacrificing comfort or flow.
They knew they wanted a place to gather, relax, and entertain—but they weren’t sure what was possible. The biggest challenge wasn’t the size of the yard—it was designing it in a way that didn’t feel boxed in. Without a clear plan, the space risked becoming cluttered or underutilized.
Solution
We created a tailored design that made smart use of every square foot. Through thoughtful layout and scaled materials, we made the space feel open, welcoming, and complete.
The design prioritized flow and balance, placing each element in a way that served the family’s lifestyle. We used proportion, sightlines, and natural materials to keep the yard feeling spacious and calm. The end result was a space that delivered everything they asked for—without ever feeling overbuilt.
Result
The Gargionne's now enjoy a well-designed outdoor area that meets their needs and enhances their home. It’s proof that good design isn’t about size—it’s about intention.
