Spring begins not with a date, but with a feeling. The way sunlight lingers past dinner. The scent of wet earth after a short, sudden rain. A window left open. A coat left behind. We don’t step into spring. We drift. Slowly, then all at once.
At EBD Studios, spring is a season of reawakening. Not just for plants, but for places. Patios stretch back into sunlight. Trees cast softer shadows. What was quiet a few weeks ago becomes a place to pause again. And every landscape, no matter how designed, begins to feel different in spring.
Below are five designs by EBD Studios that speak this seasonal language. Each one carries a unique rhythm, but all of them share the same invitation: come outside, and stay a little longer.
Pond
There’s a kind of fire that doesn’t just warm. It gathers. Set into raw stone, the fire pit at Pond is surrounded by smooth boulders and low-built benches, inviting a kind of rugged comfort that never feels staged. The scene feels like it was uncovered, not constructed. This space hums with presence.
Designed by EBD Studios with natural integration in mind, Pond captures the soul of the mountain West.
You can almost hear the boots kicked off nearby. Laughter caught in the wind. The clink of enamel mugs and the softness of wool draped across shoulders.
Spring Element: Low-maintenance boulders, built-in seating, and a fire pit that stays warm long after the sun fades. Earth beneath your feet. Logs stacked close by, waiting.
Spring Gathering: Fireside Firsts — a post-winter ritual of returning, where every seat is claimed, and nothing is rushed.
Green Briar
Tucked into a courtyard, Green Briar is a masterclass in enclosure. With its square fire table and surrounding low chairs, it feels quiet and composed, like a private dialogue between design and stillness. There is a softness in the way grasses edge the patio, a hush in the air.
The design reflects EBD’s ability to shape mood through scale and restraint, creating outdoor rooms that feel intimate no matter the size of the property.
Even in the cool of early spring, this is where you bring a blanket, a book, or a friend who doesn’t need small talk. You arrive, and the space does the rest.
Spring Element: A compact courtyard layout that warms quickly in early spring and holds heat through the evening. A fire that flickers quietly between conversation and solitude.
Spring Gathering: Evening Light — an early twilight gathering with wine and intention.
Hoyt Tudor
This space feels like a storybook turned inward. Brick and timber, softened by the shimmer of water. The pool curves past lush planting, while overhead, trees lean in as if eavesdropping. Hoyt Tudor is where formality relaxes. Where elegance wears sandals.
With every detail composed by EBD Studios, Hoyt Tudor is a portrait of timeless charm reimagined for modern life.
It’s easy to imagine a spring brunch unfolding here. Terracotta pots spilling with herbs. Linen napkins weighed down by smooth river stones. Kids skipping from one sun-warmed stone to the next.
Spring Element: Vines beginning their climb. A poolside space that stays sunlit through brunch and softens into shade by late afternoon. Morning light that glows gold across the water.
Spring Gathering: Garden Toast — an al fresco brunch with soft music and second helpings.
Evergreen
Here, nature is the architecture. The canopy of trees offers both privacy and poetry. Built into the slope of the land, Evergreen lets light filter through pine and aspen, warming poured concrete and worn stone. Seating is simple, timeless, and pointed toward presence.
EBD’s design approach here is quiet but powerful, allowing the trees to guide the structure and rhythm of the space.
There is no rush here. Just the sound of water nearby, birds returning, and long afternoons that stretch like shadows across the terrace.
Spring Element: Elevated seating tucked into natural slope, ideal for soft breezes and late-season blooms. Stillness that breathes.
Spring Gathering: Beneath the Canopy — a slow afternoon with charcuterie, poetry, and time.
980
This design is sleek, angular, and assertive—yet it doesn’t compete with the season. The pool glows coolly beneath modern overhangs. Furniture is sculptural. Plantings are considered but not fussy. It is luxury, dialed in.
EBD Studios brought this space to life with a bold contrast of light, texture, and geometry, shaping it into a modern sanctuary that still feels seasonal.
And in spring, even this sculpted space softens. A breeze carries through the open doors. Light catches on the surface of the water. The reflection of leaves dances across glass.
Spring Element: Concrete and water surfaces that stay cool during the day and reflect spring’s shifting light in the evening. Edges made warm by golden hour.
Spring Gathering: Spark Theory — a crisp, curated evening of cocktails and conversation under the first stars.
The Season to Linger
Spring gives us space to begin again. To shift from shelter to sunlight. To remember that outdoor spaces aren’t just seen; they’re felt.
Each of these landscapes, designed by EBD Studios, reflects that truth in its own way. And each one, in its own quiet language, reminds us to stay a little longer.
To pause. To notice. To return.
