Muirfield - Virtual Backyard Design
Meet Muirfield, my latest virtual backyard design project!
In this case, I developed plans for a new build backyard. I provided three design concepts - in a good/better/best approach that met different budget levels. As with all projects, all options got created in 3D, but the final selection got created as a high definition, photo realistic rendering.
Goals
Explore different backyard installation options via 3D renderings
Before
Entirely unfinished
Slight dip in terrain about 20-30 feet off house
Design 1
Added dining area covered by a pergola, open air firepit with adirondack chairs and seating area covered by a pavilion
Added privacy trees on either side of the property
Grade change overcome by structure of hardscaping and grading of mulch/plants
Design 2
Moved firepit area behind dining area to allow for larger space
Moved pavilion area to keep overall footprint cohesive
Replaced prior firepit area with mulch/plants and cooking area with counter seating
Replaced prior cooking area with reconfigured vegetable garden and additional landscaping
Design 3
Kept floorplan/layout of option 2 but added multi-level elements and corresponding seat walls
Replaced vegetable gardens with landscaping
Final Virtual Backyard Design
Selected Design #2
