The original site contained a dilapidated home on 3 ¼ acres. The property was neglected for many years and had multiple damaged trees throughout the property. The clients wanted to transform the entire property. The grand house and landscape they desired would be sophisticated, yet complimentary to the land and neighborhood. The clients envisioned a dramatic journey leading up to the home’s entrance with stylish pathways wrapping around the home’s footprint. They also needed to find a solution to running water, from three adjacent properties, that continuously streamed across the center of the property and driveway. Our intent was to meet the client’s needs, as well as provide solutions for many other intricacies associated with a project of this scale. We developed structural features that reflected, extended and accentuated the architecture of the proposed home. We chose materials appropriate for the property and selected plant material to fit the client’s requirements while being sensitive to the ever present wildlife. The stunning drive lets visitors know that something special is just around the bend.
