CASCADE

How do you transform an ordinary backyard into a multifunctional outdoor retreat—complete with a kitchen, fireplace, and fish pond—all within a compact footprint? Cascade offers a bold and elegant response.

Blending multiple programmatic elements into a single cohesive design, this project creates a versatile social space that caters to both utility and leisure. Anchored by the soothing sound of cascading water, the space integrates an outdoor kitchen, a custom-built fireplace, and a tranquil koi pond—each element reinforcing the other to create a holistic environment for gathering and reflection.

Material selections elevate the atmosphere, combining refined textures and elegant finishes that contrast with and complement the surrounding natural landscape. Despite its modest scale, Cascade demonstrates how thoughtful design can yield richness, variety, and serenity in a single, fluid gesture.
