Houston Backyard Design Gallery,
137 Real Sheets.
137 design sheets — site plans and 3D renderings — drawn for 30 properties across greater Houston before a shovel moved. This is the part of the work most people never see, and it is where the yard is actually decided.
Read them for what your own property could be: how a narrow lot gets a kitchen, where shade has to go, how grade and drainage get solved before the pavers. Open any sheet to see it full size.
