Project Overview

The recently renovated home on this property was further expanded to include a garage, pool/guest house and outdoor kitchen. In tandem with the building program, RTD master planned a comprehensive landscape transformation including a variety of entertainment spaces, knitting the buildings together with the site. The central desire of the owners was to have a gracious landscape conducive to play and family gatherings. Additionally, the project needed to accommodate frequent philanthropic events. Landscape beds and gardens were reorganized to enhance the home and reduce maintenance. Many older plantings were removed while others were salvaged, rejuvenated and supplemented with new to bring cohesion to the one acre property.
