South Austin MCM

This midcentury-modern-inspired backyard provides shade, privacy, and a haven for songbirds. In the front yard, a rain garden and cistern collect stormwater runoff.


The first step in the design, the concept plan maps anchoring features of the landscape, including hardscape, structures, trees, beds and planting zones, paths, and destinations.

The concept plan is revised and fleshed out in detail in the final plan. Below are some examples of final plan documents from this design.
