- Ecological Landscaping – This project incorporates native plantings, permeable materials, and sustainable design principles to support stormwater management, prevent erosion, and enhance the natural ecosystem.
This design-build project on Long Lake demonstrates that Inhabitect works on projects of varying size and scope. This firepit and seating area was designed and built for a client looking to enhance their existing landscape. The project features a large flagstone patio surrounded by natural steppers and a boulder wall, creating a warm and inviting outdoor space. At the heart of the design is a custom-built firepit, offering the perfect focal point for gathering and relaxation.
The project began with careful excavation and preparation of the subgrade to ensure a permeable, durable, and level surface that integrates seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. Thought was given to the placement of this patio and its connection to its lakeview setting, blending function and aesthetics.
