Smart Outdoor Living Space

Completed: May 2025 Miami, FL Duration: 8 Weeks Outdoor Entertainment

Creating an integrated outdoor entertainment area with automated lighting, weather-resistant technology, and sustainable landscaping.

Project Overview

This project transformed a standard backyard into a fully integrated smart outdoor living space. The homeowners wanted an entertainment area that could be used year-round, with technology that enhanced the outdoor experience while requiring minimal maintenance.

The design created distinct zones for dining, lounging, cooking, and recreation, all connected by smart systems that could be controlled from anywhere.
