What a striking home! This home in South Baton Rouge was designed by Cockfield-Jackson and the clients wanted a complete landscape design that would accompany the architecture of this A. Hays Town inspired home. Featured in this design are a substantial entertainment area in the rear, complete with an outdoor kitchen (built by Joffrion Construction) expansive pool with water feature wall, and a bluestone courtyard. Additionally, this home features a quaint side yard complete with brick steps leading to a bluestone courtyard with an antique sugar kettle fountain. The clients also needed options for guests to park. A circular driveway in the front provided a grand entrance, as well as ample parking for plenty of guests.

Clean, crisp design. Pure white interior. Corner lot.

The home is oriented around a natural alignment of several saguaro cacti that lead you through the site. A stand alone antique door in a modern steel frame marks to beginning of the entray sequence to the home which continues over a bridge that connects the garage with the main house and preserves a natural arroyo that runs through the property. Over the bridge is a small courtyard where abstracted ocotillos where cut into steel panels to create interesting shadows. Steven Meckler Photographer

The original Southwestern exterior was updated to create a fresh desert-modern aesthetic. All-new modern desert landscaping was incorporated, including custom planters and a lighted walkway that leads to the glass and iron double entry gate at the courtyard. Modern garage doors were also added, enhancing the home’s curb appeal and creating a more cohesive, contemporary first impression while still honoring the Arizona setting.
