Strait Lane
The landscape accentuates the pool without overwhelming it. Multiple textures from both the plants and stonework gives a feeling of coziness and intimacy while still having open and bright qualities.
Vanderbilt
A traditional M streets house received a modern facelift with updated plantings and expanded beds. A tranquil sitting area was created to make more use of the front yard, and custom iron planters give the entry an understated elegance.
Bordeaux
The goal of this design was to nestle a brand-new house into an existing traditional Highland Park neighborhood, and make it look like it had always been there. The rear patio was extended to create space for furniture and free movement. The pool is integrated directly with the entertainment area, reflecting light into the surrounding rooms.
St. John’s
A new circular drive and front walk orientation created a lovely formal lawn to set off this traditional house. In the back yard, the 70’s brown brick pool patios were renovated and the pool re-plastered to give the private area a quiet, classic look, while new plantings soften the hard surfaces.
Canterbury
This family desired a modern upgrade to add some personality to their home. A courtyard was added off the porch for a comfortable spot to relax outdoors. The old walkway was sloped and hazardous. It was replaced with sleek, concrete pads that lead right under a lightweight arbor. The old planting scheme was one-dimensional and without any variety or life. The new selection of plants add depth and texture to the landscape.
