From a space of not much more than wood mulch, Surroundings transformed the backyard of a family of four into a space of play, party, relaxation, and recharge. A large outdoor dining terrace with a shade structure was located near the kitchen. A water feature was designed to be low and accessible by their children. Climbing rocks and a sand box were located in the corner so the parents can keep watch over their children anywhere in the garden. A hot tub and outdoor bed were sited against a board formed concrete privacy wall.
