We were invited to address landscape improvements when ColePrévost Architects were enlisted to renovate this David Jameson house with gardens inside and out.

The existing concrete aggregate terrace suffered from disrepair and access was limited from the rear of the Bethesda home. We were tasked with replacing all paving, coping, and stairs. An improved water feature behind the original kidney-shaped pool provided white noise to distract visitors from the nearby highway noise.

Our clients on this project are avid travelers and one of their favorite places is the South of France. We used travertine pavers and coping and a sun-bleached veneer for their herb garden, grill surround and fire pit to evoke warm, dry Mediterranean nights.

The woodland garden features a bubbler and stepping stone path.

Paving between the covered porch and outdoor kitchen is interrupted with plants, so that seating is more engaged with the garden beyond.

Custom Vanity with existing skylight above, tucks nicely into the area previously occupied by the shower stall. An extra deep recessed toe-kick with matching wall tile makes the vanity appear to "float" above the floor without the additional structural cost of actually cantilevering a vanity. LED rope lighting on a Motion Sensor illuminates the toe kick at night time. Walker Zanger custom blend of 3 color vertical pattern glass tiles add a real punch of color.
