Project Story

The Challenge

Creating privacy and definition in an open-concept outdoor space while maintaining the home's modern aesthetic.

Our Solution

We designed a series of graduated rectangular planters that create natural boundaries between different outdoor zones - dining, lounging, and garden areas. The Corten steel develops a beautiful patina that complements the home's warm wood and stone materials.

Results

The planters have transformed the space into distinct outdoor rooms while maintaining visual flow. The weathering steel has developed the perfect patina after one season.

"The SteelScape planters have completely transformed our outdoor space. The quality is exceptional, and they've developed such a beautiful patina. Our landscape architect was thrilled with how they turned out."
