NICOLLS ISLAND

These photos are 3D renderings produced for our project located on Nichols Island, Manotick -professional photos coming soon. The overall concept for this design was to create several seating spaces set within a very natural and whimsical landscape. Each destination space within the backyard, feels as though you are surrounded by nature while sitting in or using the area. We included a fire pit seating area, a dining space under a wood pergola, a yoga platform, custom corten steel veggie planter, sauna, and lower seating looking out over the water. The front yard is slightly more formal to respect the traditional feel of the home.
