Transforming ordinary spaces into extraordinary outdoor sanctuaries is my specialty. I've helped countless luxury homeowners realtors, developers & architects boost property values through award-winning landscape & exterior design. Whether you're looking to create a stunning backyard oasis or seamlessly integrate an ADU into your existing landscape, my expertise turns your vision into a breathtaking reality.From intimate garden retreats to multi-functional outdoor rooms, my specialty is transforming limited spaces into expansive, livable areas that significantly boost property value & elevate the daily living experience of homeowners & ADU living spaces.A well-designed outdoor space is not just an amenity, but an essential component of modern, efficient living that can dramatically improve quality of life & foster a deeper appreciation for compact, sustainable housing solutions.My designs have been featured in publications such as Atlanta Magazine, Landscape Architect, Mid Century Home, Synkd, and The Outdoor Room.But it's not about me - what I am most proud of are the compliments we get from our satisfied clients (some are celebrities I cannot name) – not only for their project's result but for the ease and efficiency with which we completed the work. Clients often comment on how friendly & courteous our crews are & how easy it is to work with us during the project installation.👉 Let's Talk ADUs:As Director of Exterior Design for Homeplex, I specialize in creating outdoor spaces for ADUs by transforming the often-overlooked areas surrounding these compact dwellings into vibrant, functional extensions of living space. With the understanding that we spend nearly half our lives outdoors, my focus is optimizing every square foot of exterior space to enhance both property value & owner experience.Our designs seamlessly blend indoor & outdoor living, creating harmonious environments that maximize the potential of ADU properties. By carefully considering factors such as climate, privacy, and lifestyle needs, we craft outdoor spaces that not only complement the ADU structure but also provide a unique sanctuary for relaxation, entertainment, & connection with Nature. When not helping clients transform their outdoor spaces, you’ll find me teaching landscape design at Emory University, traveling the world, cooking, eating & drinking great wine. I love anything that gets me out into Nature, especially hiking, paddleboarding & snowboarding. Let's talk about how we can work together, contact me!Michael@michaelbernierdesign.com
