Photo by Barbara Wilson Landscape Architect, LLC A small residential, seaside property located on Fairfield Beach, Fairfield was renovated by the new owners and adapted for their active family. Barbara was the landscape architect in charge of all of the landscape elements upgrades. She designed new bluestone curving paths to access the front and side doors and designed new landscape lighting to enhance the walks. The existing trees were saved and she designed new shade and salt-tolerant plantings which were added to provide seasonal color and interest while respecting the existing plantings. Along the beach front additional native beach grasses were added to stabilize the dunes while removing some invasive plantings. This work will be phased over the next few years in an effort to keep the sand stable. Beach roses were incorporated into a hollow in the dunes. A small lawn area was renovated and the surrounding Black Pines pruned to provide a small play area and respite from the sun. Beautiful reblooming hydrangeas line the edge of the gravel driveway. Rounded beach stones were used instead of mulch in the island planting along the edge of the adjacent road planted with Miscanthus, Mugo pine and yucca. Barbara designed a custom kayak rack, custom garbage enclosure, a new layout of the existing wooden deck to facilitate access to the side doors, and detailed how to renovate the front door into only an emergency access with new railings and steps. She coordinating obtaining bids and then supervised the installation of all elements for the new landscape the project. The interiors were designed by Jack Montgomery Design of Greenwich, CT and NYC . Tree work was completed by Bartlett Tree Experts. Freddy’s Landscape Company of Fairfield, CT installed the new plantings, installed all the new masonry work and provides landscape maintenance services. JT Low Voltage and Electric installed the landscape lighting.

Our client facing mobility issues wanted to stay in the home he had purchased with his wife in 1963, and raised his family in. He needed a bathroom on the first floor, because he had decided he was not moving. We needed to create an accessible full bath on his first floor using existing space. We used a portion of his sitting room/office for the bathroom and his family moved his couch and tv to the other half, and then turned his living room into his new bedroom. We converted half of his sitting room to a wet room. The space was directly above plumbing in the basement and also had a window. The shower space does not have an enclosure, only a 17-inch glass panel to protect the medicine cabinet and sink. We added a wall sink to keep floor space open and a large doubled mirror medicine cabinet to provide ample storage. The finishing touch was a pocket door for access; the client chose a door that mirrors the front door which added a bit of interest to the area. We also removed the existing carpeting from the first floor after well-preserved pine flooring was discovered underneath the carpet. When the construction was complete the family redecorated the entire first floor to create a bedroom and sitting area.

This residential project highlights the story of horse owners in South Florida who needed a custom 1,220-square-foot covered space for their animals. Their horses require special care and supervision, so they were looking for an alternative to a classic run-in shed that would provide their horses a space to relax and enjoy the outdoors, regardless of the weather, while staying covered when accessing the washroom located on the ground floor of the house.

This rough framing shows the construction of a dedicated laundry closet designed to accommodate a stackable washer and dryer within the basement bathroom area. The layout was carefully planned to maximize the available space while creating a separate, functional utility area. By positioning the laundry closet outside the primary bathroom sightline, the design maintains a clean and organized appearance, ensuring the washer and dryer remain concealed during normal bathroom use while still providing convenient access for laundry operations.

A different problem in the bedroom. The client wanted the drapes to be removed so they could access the French Doors leading to their cottage deck, However they needed new drapes, lined, that could create a black out effect to provide better sleep during the morning hours as they were light sensitive sleepers.
