The family purchased the house with plans to renovate this 1.1 acre lot. An overhaul of the landscape came first, and our team worked to develop plans for newly created spaces throughout the property that would reflect the owners’ clean and modern tastes and sensibilities. Balanced with traditional elements for structure and definition, areas were designed to evoke a crisp and edited feel while offering plenty of opportunities for the young family to let loose and play.

The project was implemented in phases with a common focus to encourage an open feel for the property and its pond-side location. To this end, unused and precarious slopes were converted into purposeful, level destination spaces and borrowed views over the pond preserved, enhancing connections to the outdoor experience. The property contains wetlands, and appropriate permits were secured through the town for certain aspects of the project.

Design elements included front parking area with basketball hoop, new pool area and terracing of surrounding yard, play lawn, dramatic outdoor lighting, new fencing and all new evergreen plantings.
