Stepping stones set within the lawn provides a clean access to the pool while providing a green separation of the spaces.
This is an example of a contemporary landscaping in Philadelphia.

This mid-century ranch-style home in Pasadena, CA underwent a complete interior remodel and renovation. The kitchen walls separating it from the dining and living rooms were removed creating a sophisticated open-plan entertainment space.

These beautiful single-lite Douglas fir doors with white-laminated glass were installed to provide a separation to the laundry room while allowing natural light to flood the interior hallway.

A guest room in a separate structure for plenty of privacy.

Granite cobble detail at end of driveway. By carefully framing views and clearly defining spaces for entertaining and arrival, Ryan Associates achieved a feeling of spaciousness and privacy within the very narrow bounds of this property. Site and circulation challenges were addressed by purposefully delineating paving patterns, planting design, and changes in elevation to define and separate the spaces and their uses. The signature feature, an oval lawn, is set off by a stunning grove of birch trees and a ramped grass path with granite steps – the focal point for an upper bluestone terrace overlooking the space.

The master bathroom features a separate area for the tub which looks out onto a sea of green, double fireplace and Romeo & Juliet balcony.
