Grand expression

In a climate where indoors and outdoors can run together, meticulous landscaping has created an expansive, flowing outdoor living space.

Attanasio Landscape Architecture was responsible for the design of the exterior environment. This involved the hardscape, pathways, driveways, site walls, landscape, irrigation, external lighting, and the pool, spa and outdoor kitchen area. There was an extensive use of trellises, fountains, classic pots and gates.

Principal Chris Attanasio says his unified design worked with the home's architecture, the interior spaces and the owner's specific requirements.

"The owners love being outdoors, so we planned for versatility," says Attanasio. "For example, the pool needed to be long enough to swim laps, have open play space and also act as a water feature. The patio and garden spaces offer private areas for sunbathing, good circulation for entertaining and an outdoor family room.

"We chose Haddonstone pots, sculpture and accessories with a classic European look," he says. "The design also utilizes sustainable materials."
