This partially wooded, acre and a half lot in West Dundee presented many challenges. The clients began working with a Landscape Architect in the early spring, but after not getting the innovative ideas they were seeking, the home builder and Architect suggested the client contact our landscape design/build firm. We immediately hit it off with the charismatic clients. They had a tall order for us: complete the design and implement the construction within a three month period. For many projects this would be a reasonable time frame. However construction delays and the coordination of multiple trades left a very short window to complete the work. Beyond the tight time frame the site required specific care in preserving the many mature surrounding trees, as well as addressing a vast grade change. Over fifteen feet of grade change occurs from one end of this woodland property to the other. All of these constraints proved to be an enormous challenge as we worked to include and coordinate the following elements: the drive layout, a dramatic front entry, various gardens, landscape lighting, irrigation, and a plan for a backyard pool and entertainment space that already had been started without a clear plan. Fortunately, the client loved our design ideas and attention to detail and we were able to mobilize and begin construction. With the seamless coordination between our firm and the builder we implemented all the elements of this grand project. In total eight different crews and five separate trades worked together to complete the landscape. The completed project resulted in a rewarding experience for our firm, the builder and architect, as well as the client. Together we were able to create and construct a perfect oasis for the client that suited the beautiful property and the architecture of this dream home.

This modern residence is defined by its clean architectural lines and precision-installed exterior stone wall cladding, creating a bold yet refined first impression at the entry. The approach is designed to highlight scale and symmetry, with the stone façade framing the glass entry and cantilevered overhang for a striking, contemporary look. Milano Granite fabricated and installed large-format stone panels with tight joints and consistent alignment, achieving a seamless, monolithic finish across the exterior surfaces. The neutral-toned stone enhances the home’s connection to its natural surroundings while providing durability and performance suited for a coastal environment. From the entry pathway to the vertical wall planes, every detail was executed with a focus on proportion, texture, and longevity.
