Verlaine Court Project

Modern Outdoor Living. Refined Landscapes. Intentional Gathering.

Project Overview

The Verlaine Court Project is a full outdoor transformation designed to elevate everyday living through intentional spaces and layered experiences. This project blends architectural structure, soft landscape elements, and ambient lighting to create a cohesive environment that transitions seamlessly from day to night.

Rooted in a modern Mediterranean aesthetic, the design focuses on balance—between structure and softness, openness and intimacy, function and atmosphere.

Design Vision

This space was envisioned as a multi-experience outdoor retreat—where each zone serves a purpose, yet flows effortlessly into the next.

From quiet morning walks through the garden pathways to evening gatherings under soft lighting, every detail was curated to feel both elevated and livable.

Design Approach

At Design by Marinel, every project begins with storytelling.

For Verlaine Court, the goal was to design a space that feels:

• Intentional in layout

• Refined in material selection

• Seamless in indoor-outdoor flow

• Personal to the way the client lives and gathers

Each element—from paving patterns to plant selection—was carefully curated to support both aesthetics and long-term function.
