Entertainment Area
Balanced proportions: The open “Pole Barn” entertainment area, adjacent pool and sun patio provide a seamless connection to the landscape.
The Front Entry
Consistent visual understory plane with unobstructed views.
Walkway through Meadow
Monolithic bluestone slab steps connecting the meadow to the main terrace, flanked by a transitional slope of lavender.
The Breezeway
The breezeway separates private and public guest parking courts. Use of bluestone as both pedestrian walk and vehicular drive. The monolithic bluestone slab step form is repeated in the steps through the meadow.
Back Country Sanctuary
Surrounded by a nature preserve and an old abandoned apple orchard, relaxed simplicity was the motto on this 4+ acre setting. The focus was on restoring the natural systems and provide a visual extension with the adjoining conservation area and riding trails.
The perimeter of the property was allowed to revert back to its original woodland state, supplemented with native understory plantings. Manicured lawns were replaced with wildflower meadows. Two rain gardens, sited within the wildflower meadows, function as storm water management. Louis Fusco Landscape Architect has been fortunate to have the opportunity to return to the property for seasonal review and assessment to ensure minimal maintenance, meadow health/diversity, and bio retention/rain garden success.
