Luxury outdoor living has evolved far beyond patios and gardens. Today’s exterior spaces are thoughtfully designed extensions of the home—places to gather, entertain, recharge, and create lasting memories.
In this episode of House Party: Design, Real Estate & Shenanigans, Maria Perketa and Mary DaRosa welcome returning guest Peter Bonanno for a conversation about the future of landscape design, luxury outdoor environments, and the craftsmanship required to bring extraordinary spaces to life.
Together, they explore what homeowners are asking for today, from outdoor kitchens and wellness retreats to integrated lighting, privacy features, and resort-style experiences at home. They discuss why timeless design is replacing trend-driven projects and what it truly means to create intentional outdoor living spaces that reflect how people live.
Peter also shares valuable insight into the evolving role of stewardship in high-end residential projects—explaining the difference between simply completing work and protecting the integrity of a vision from concept through execution.
