A modern outdoor
design studio.
Rockback shapes refined, architectural exterior environments—modern pools, landscapes, and site-driven spaces designed for calm, intentional living.
Design without compromise.
We create outdoor spaces defined by clarity of line, refined planting structure, and a quiet sense of luxury. Every project is guided by proportion, restraint, and a deep respect for how you live within the landscape.
Planting as architecture.
Concept
We begin with clarity—understanding your architecture, your site, and how you want to live outdoors. From the first sketch we focus on proportion, movement, and a calm visual framework.
Detail
Materiality, planting structure, lighting, and spatial rhythm are resolved with precision. We refine until every junction and transition feels inevitable, not decorative.
Delivery
We collaborate seamlessly with leading landscape and pool contractors, or with your preferred team. Our role is to protect the design vision and support precise, thoughtful execution on site.
Geometry, balance, and water.
A modern approach to outdoor living.
Our work sits at the intersection of architecture, landscape, and lifestyle. We design spaces that feel effortless to inhabit yet highly considered in their structure, grading, planting, and light. The result is an outdoor environment that ages gracefully and quietly elevates the everyday.
Spaces for gathering and slowing down.
Calm
Landscapes that feel grounded and unhurried, with a focus on comfort, privacy, and ease of use.
Craft
Every line, level, and planting decision is intentional. We design as if we’re on site with you, building each layer by hand.
Clarity
Simple, strong composition — no clutter, no visual noise. Just the essentials, resolved beautifully.
Collaboration
We work closely with a small circle of trusted contractors and align seamlessly with your preferred team to deliver the design at a very high level.
Architecture and landscape in dialogue.
