DWY Landscape Architects

Based in Sarasota, DWY Landscape Architects shapes private residential estates and courtyards around a crisp tension between precise orthogonal hardscapes—such as flush indoor-outdoor stone decks and breeze-block screens—and the soft, shadow-dappled forms of tropical palm canopies and curvilinear pools. The work provides a clear reference when detailing flush interior-to-terrace floor alignments, specifying integrated planter-rim seating, or balancing geometric pool edges with shallow submerged sun shelves.

What we like about this project
