Extend Your Home's Living Space with a Beautiful Patio: Inspiration and Ideas
Patios are an excellent way to utilize your backyard as an extension of your home. They provide a gathering space made of durable materials like stone or cement, that can endure beautifully with minimal upkeep. Moreover, they offer environmental benefits, such as reducing water consumption as compared to maintaining a lawn.
The Balanced Backyard
Recently, we brought our full team together for an exciting group exercise and brainstorming session to reflect on a holistic view of what makes up the best backyard that we can design and implement. Our insightful team began thinking about each element that makes a truly balanced backyard - a term we are defining as a yard that blends form, function, and purpose. We are excited to share for the first time, 8 distinct elements we identified that comprise a balanced backyard and informs our design process and or we approach every project here at RPK Landscape Architecture - our goal is to assist you with getting the most out of the space you have with these 8 synergistic and complementary elements.
For the Love of Public Space
Though it may be hard to believe here in the snow-covered Northeast, the start of Spring is just over a month away. As we celebrate this Valentine's Day, we chose to espouse our love for public spaces and the different types of places we live to design and build as we begin to envision the warmer months ahead. We are excited to show you the proverbial box of chocolates available to choose from as we showcase our favorite types of public places we enjoy creating.
