Bird Key Residence

The hardscape and landscape for this Bird Key residence were designed with the homeowners' unique lifestyle in mind. Spaces were created for entertaining and gathering on several scales. Low maintenance materials make jetsetting easy. The home's waterfront exposure is celebrated and its architecture is complemented by the plant palette and paving patterns. The result is an aesthetic that is inviting yet personal, fun yet sophisticated.
