Design notes

Modern design is about restraint: clean geometry, a tight material palette and details that disappear into the architecture. Look for long straight edges, large-format paving, flush transitions between inside and out, and planting kept architectural — hedges, grasses and one or two specimen trees.

What to look for

  • Roof pitch, siding and windows that echo the main house
  • The path, the light by the door and the planting around it
  • Power, insulation and drainage if you will work or sleep in it
