Where Every Corner Calls You In

Upper Saddle River, NJ

Then & Now

Before - A modest, underutilized yard that felt tight and uncertain, with no clear invitation to step outside and stay.

After - A multi-sensory retreat complete with a plunge pool, custom pavilion, layered plantings, and soft lighting, designed for gathering, unwinding, and living beautifully in every season.

Project Description

A project that brings the indoors out in the most luxurious, thoughtful way. This backyard in Upper Saddle River, NJ, is a symphony of comfort, connection, and year-round beauty. At its heart lies a plunge pool from Soake Pools, elegantly nestled within a warm-toned stone patio.

Just steps away, a custom pavilion designed and built by S. Scott Construction and Design rises with architectural grace, centered around a glowing double-sided fireplace that anchors both conversation and quiet. Lounge chairs line the water's edge, inviting relaxation under twilight skies, while refined plantings, evergreen structure, and soft lighting complete the story. Every zone has its purpose: to host, to rest, to dream.

Kindled in stone and bloom, where every breeze carries you home.

Project Challenges

Initially, the homeowners believed their space couldn’t accommodate a pool, and they were unsure how to bring their wishlist together. By reimagining the space through a design-build lens, we revealed its full potential.

We addressed tight spatial constraints with compact luxury features like the Soake Pool, and carefully managed grading and drainage to ensure longevity. Trust in the process allowed us to integrate structure, softness, and utility into a cohesive landscape.
