Leading Pool
The appeal of a leading edge pool is derived from creating a mirrored composition between the pool’s water surface and a backdrop that may be a forest, a fanciful landscape or another large body of water. Each utilize reflectivity or mirroring in a different way… This eye shaped leading edge pool utilizes our 35 degree peripheral vision as a way of camouflaging the two ends of the pool from certain perspectives. We wanted the pool to blend into the existing landscape without drawing attention to the ‘ends’…the length of the pool at 63 feet is instrumental in the affect.

Cottage Gardens
Cottage gardens are often thought of as messy and lacking in structure. They are in fact, very difficult gardens to design for these reasons. Incorporating a plant pallet that offers long lasting visual appeal while asking for little maintenance is one of the challenges. The other is power…which we find here in the long mass of architectural grasses that wind purposely through the entire landscape. Careful attention was given to the textural and structural balance of this garden at every time of year…this is this Designer’s house. I am not, in any way, shackled to this garden…it nearly takes care of itself. [Best_Wordpress_Gallery id="7" gal_title="Cottage..
