Winter view of Luna fountain. Photo taken by Barbara Wilson, RLA A small residential, seaside property located on Saugatuck Island in Wesport was rebuilt after devastating damage by a hurricane. All that remained from the original property was the pool and pool terrace. The house was raised approximately 5 feet to meet new FEMA codes and rebuilt under the design team of the owner, a well-known interior designer. Barbara was part of the landscape architectural team that helped create a sense of place for the new house. The landscape design included the addition of new walls and steps to the front door, new custom fencing surrounding the pool, an outdoor shower, landscape lighting, a custom fountain in the back yard, a sandbox (used as a relief area for the dog) and all new plantings. She coordinating obtaining bids and then supervised installation of the project.

The front covered entry is beautifully landscaped with brick, concrete & stone pavers, that 'spill' into the fully paved driveway. A feature wall with a little container garden completes the look

The patio off of the garage is covered with a slide wire awning that provides shade in the summer and sun in the winter. An outdoor room hosts dining and leisure and extends the living space of the home. The patio is paved with concrete permeable pavers which allows proper drainage on this small lot.

New Modern Lake House: Located on beautiful Glen Lake, this home was designed especially for its environment with large windows maximizing the view toward the lake. The lower awning windows allow lake breezes in, while clerestory windows and skylights bring light in from the south. A back porch and screened porch with a grill and commercial hood provide multiple opportunities to enjoy the setting. Michigan stone forms a band around the base with blue stone paving on each porch. Every room echoes the lake setting with shades of blue and green and contemporary wood veneer cabinetry.

The home's original layout had this small patio functioning as the only outdoor area accessible from inside the house. It was reimagined as an intimate courtyard, just off the newly sited master and guest bedrooms, with reclaimed brick paving and a custom fountain designed for the vintage sculpture. | Photography by Atlantic Archives

Note filter fabric under rock chips,; fabric installed to suppress vigorous weeds but allow water to penetrate. Chips were created by busting up a few of the thinnest rocks with a sledgehammer. This complimented boulders best while eliminating cost of buying bagged round gravel. Yuk.
