Seraview Project: A Modern Home Built from a Blank Canvas
The Seraview Project began quite literally from the ground up—an untouched lot, a full new build, and a vision for creating a home where architecture, interiors, and landscape all speak the same language. What started as open earth is now a Mediterranean-inspired modern farmhouse shaped by collaboration, intentional design, and a shared commitment to craft.
This is the story of how the Seraview came to life.
The Vision For Seraview
Before a single wall was raised, the homeowners had a clear and deeply personal goal:
Create a home with an open, welcoming interior floor plan and a private, inward-facing outdoor living experience. They envisioned a property where every space—inside and out—felt connected, cohesive, and rooted in the way their family lives every day.
Noble Architects translated that vision into the architectural concept: a Mediterranean Modern Farmhouse with subtle gables, warm timber details, and a layout shaped around a central pool courtyard. The interior designer, Sarah Ashley Rohe, echoed the same tone inside with hickory floors and soft, natural materials.
For BFT Land Design, the landscape became the critical link—the thread connecting structure, style, and daily life.
The Process
Starting with a Blank Canvas
With no existing structure, every decision was strategic. The earliest stages focused on grading, infrastructure, and mapping movement—how the family would enter, circulate, gather, and retreat throughout the property. Early construction and framing set the bones for outdoor spaces that would eventually feel timeless and settled.
Designing Flow That Feels Effortless
The architectural schematic plans guided where landscape transitions were needed. Pathways, patios, garden pockets, and the pool courtyard were shaped to mirror the home’s natural rhythms. The goal wasn’t just to create beautiful outdoor rooms—it was to make the indoor and outdoor environments feel inseparable.
As construction progressed, midway milestones revealed the project’s defining character: walls rising, hardscapes taking form, and the connective tissue between the home and landscape becoming visible.
A Collaborative Build
Bringing Seraview to life required a tightly aligned team:
• Architecture + Interior Design: Noble Architects
• Builder: Forte Building Group
• Furnishings + Interiors: Sarah Ashley Rohe
• Landscape Architecture: BFT Land Design
Each partner brought clarity and expertise to the project, ensuring the house and landscape tell one cohesive, intentional story from every angle.
The Result
What was once open land is now a grounded, gracious home shaped for connection.
The pool courtyard forms the heart of the property, offering both gathering space and quiet refuge. Outdoor rooms flow naturally from the interior, supported by low-maintenance plantings, year-round texture, and a greenhouse designed for homegrown food.
The homeowners describe it simply:
“Everyone loves how the landscape complements the house. It just feels right.”
Seraview is more than a new build.
It is a fully realized living environment, one where architecture, interiors, and landscape work together to create a home that feels both welcoming and deeply personal.
