Our client called us to say they had found the house of their dreams but wanted to create an outdoor living space to fit their lifestyle. Having worked with this client on two previous homes made this special project even more so. Annapolis is well known for narrow streets and small lots. This site is no exception to that rule. Our client’s new outdoor space needed to accommodate large par… - [Spa View Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spa-view-residence-pj-vj~721235) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: The Spa View Residence is located on Spa Creek in downtown Annapolis. Our goal for this project was to enhance the beauty of this stunning home when viewed from the water, as well as, allow the homeowner a private area with a spectacular view of the creek from the veranda. We were fortunate to have worked with this client on a previous project and thus had a clear understanding of their personal taste and style.

After visiting several homes in the area, we came across this partially finished home along the banks of the Chesapeake Bay. After explaining our vision to the client, we were given carte blanche to create a space that was unlike any that we had done before. With the house sitting 40 feet above the bay, the site lent itself perfectly for a neg… - [South River Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/south-river-residence-pj-vj~338535) - Location: Annapolis, MD - Photos: 10 - Description: While attending a dinner party at the home of a previous client, this homeowner could not help but notice all of the elements in this project and wanted similar elements in their yard. Having just completed the installation of a pool and paver patio just three years prior, our client knew they had one shot to get it right. After working through several designs it was decided that the only item to remain from the previous project was the pool. A custom mahogany pergola and 18” stone sitting wall… - [Porters Hill Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/porters-hill-residence-pj-vj~343810) - Location: Annapolis, MD - Photos: 12 - Description: Designing a space to entertain 5 children and mom and dad was no easy task. Many design elements were requested by the client, including a swimming pool, spa, patio space to accommodate large parties, water features, stairs from the existing upper deck, lighting, irrigation, fire place, and of course a sea of colorful plantings. The site was a blank canvas with three feet of fall from one side of the space to the other. The pool and spa were carefully placed to allow the best views of the river… - [Bennet Point](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bennet-point-pj-vj~2119597) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Arden Farms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/arden-farms-pj-vj~1402464) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 23 - [Severn River Overlook](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/severn-river-overlook-pj-vj~721213) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - Description: This idyllic location provides an outdoor oasis for the homeowners to enjoy with family and friends against the backdrop of the breathtaking scenery.

Our challenge was to soften the large expanse of hardscape as well as compliment the out buildings with lush plantings. Plant… - [St. Margarets Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/st-margarets-residence-pj-vj~343826) - Location: Annapolis, MD - Photos: 9 - Description: Have you ever noticed that updating one room in your house often draws attention to the other spaces that are now less than the newly renovated space? That is the case with our St. Margaret’s Residence. After living for several years with an old deck that leads to the newly installed pool, spa, and patio our client decided it was time for their deck to get a make over as well. The existing deck was lacking in flow and aesthetics. The first step in the process was to completely remove the old dec… - [Rhode River Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rhode-river-residence-pj-vj~192770) - Location: Edgewater, MD - Photos: 20 - Description: The clients were interested in transforming their tired family home into a place where they could entertain their grandchildren and other family members. During the initial meeting the wife told us that she would love a pool but her husband was against it. After seeing the potential, we took the husband to several properties that we had previously completed. Soon the husband was on board with one stipulation: the project needed to be complete by April 1st as they were having a surprise birthday… - [Fishing Creek Farms Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fishing-creek-farms-residence-pj-vj~338532) - Location: Annapolis, MD - Photos: 14 - Description: It’s not everyday that you get work on a project such as this one.

The clients list of must haves included a swimming pool with spa, water feature, flagstone patio, stone walls, fire place, summer kitchen, outdoor shower, access from the family room, lighting, irrigation, and plantings.
