For the Millstream Drive residence, RMM was tasked with designing a comprehensive master plan for the entire site, along with a detailed concept plan for the area immediately surrounding the property.
The client's impressive architectural new build home is situated on a large section adjacent to a reserve, with a charming waterway flowing along one side. The design aimed to enhance the natural beauty of this unique setting while creating functional and aesthetically pleasing outdoor spaces.
To maximize the stunning views of the reserve, RMM designed an angular wrap-around deck, with a portion cantilevered over the stream bank. This innovative feature provides an elevated and immersive experience, allowing residents to feel as if they are floating above the natural landscape. The deck offers a perfect spot for relaxation and entertaining, seamlessly blending the indoor and outdoor environments.
A schist retaining wall, meticulously crafted to match the materials of the house, was strategically placed near the southern boundary. This wall serves a dual purpose: it creates a level lawn area for recreational use and frames a picturesque view of the reserve. The lawn area offers a serene and inviting space for outdoor activities, enhancing the property's connection to its natural surroundings.
To further integrate the home with its environment, RMM implemented a gently sloped walkway that leads down to the waterway. This pathway allows easy access to the stream, providing a peaceful retreat where residents can enjoy the soothing sounds of flowing water and the tranquility of nature.
