COSMIC DESIGN STUDIO

THE ART OF INTENTIONAL OUTDOOR LIVING

In Atlanta, a city defined by its vibrant energy and rapid growth, Cosmic Design Studio is charting a new course for outdoor luxury. The firm is not simply a builder; it is a curator of a new lifestyle, dedicated to redefining the very concept of an outdoor space. The studio’s mission is a direct response to a significant gap in the market for truly holistic and purposeful design—a blend of artistry and precision that transforms a backyard into a personal retreat. This is where the complementary forces of founders Chris and Masha Carter converge. Chris’s architectural foundation and analytical rigor meet Masha’s creative vision and aesthetic sensibility, forming a synergy that delivers not just innovative and beautiful designs, but environments that are truly functional and deeply personal.

Cosmic Design Studio’s signature approach begins by seeing the exterior as an elemental extension of the home, a purposeful canvas waiting to be brought to life. The future of outdoor luxury is intentional—a movement away from simply adding features and toward creating environments with a deliberate purpose. When approaching a project, the team ensures that four critical elements are in perfect alignment: program, space, circulation, and light. Program is the “why” of the design, defining the specific uses for the space. Space is how these programs are zoned, creating distinct “outdoor rooms” that feel expansive and functional. Circulation is the “how” of movement through the space, with pathways meticulously planned to create an effortless flow. Light is the final, critical layer, shaping the mood and extending usability from day to night.

By ensuring these four elements are in harmony, Cosmic Design Studio transforms private backyards into complete escapes without ever leaving home. This holistic design elevates the standard of Atlanta’s residential living, creating a sophisticated, resort-like aesthetic that feels both luxurious and personal. A Cosmic Design Studio project becomes a backdrop for life’s most meaningful moments. A swimming pool is more than a structure; it is a stage for boisterous family parties, a tranquil setting for quiet morning reflections, or the perfect spot for an evening cocktail. This focus on lifestyle and emotion is at the heart of the firm’s philosophy. Everything is based on the premise that the client experience is paramount. The team does not see itself simply as contractors, but as partners in a journey to realize a dream. This commitment drives a rigorous process, from the first conversation to the final reveal, ensuring the entire journey is as seamless and stress-free as possible.

The studio’s designs are built to last and to become part of a family’s legacy. Cosmic Design Studio is not just building backyards; it is helping clients cultivate a lifestyle and create a setting where future memories will be made for generations to come. It is this dedication that has earned the firm a reputation not only for stunning designs, but for the trust and relationships built along the way. The client’s vision is the blueprint, and satisfaction is the ultimate measure of success.
