Our clients had the dream of developing a one-acre parcel they had recently added to their existing property. The idea was to convert the new parcel into a beautiful destination for family entertainment. We committed to enhancing the original property with the main house, while integrating the new parcel into a cohesive landscape design plan. Building on Phase One of our design developed in 2017, we included the immediate surroundings of the house and added a new driveway and plantings. This time, the family was looking for a generous play area with trees and plants to define spatial transitions and add screening. They also wanted a pool destination area with a private feel, but one that still felt linked to the rest of the property.
The main goal was to incorporate the new landscape design work in harmonious flow with the renovation of a carriage house, planned as a future pool house, together with the existing house and landscape. We provided a new pool design with associated hardscaping, a pergola with a firepit and outdoor seating areas, fencing, ornamental and screening plantings, as well as ambient and decorative landscape lighting to complement the design.
