Project Overview
Terrace landscape refinement
Sandstone Terrace was designed to transform a layered outdoor slope into a structured, usable, and visually balanced terrace garden. The focus was on creating clean geometry using sandstone materials while integrating planting that softens transitions and enhances natural flow. The final design brings together stepped levels, refined paving, and structured planting zones. Each terrace now functions as an individual space while remaining visually connected to the overall composition.
