Infinity Edge Pool
Crossing state line with water flowing from New York to Connecticut. Careful attention was paid to the design and layout of all site amenities; pool, entertainment terraces, sitting gardens and their orientation to the pond and garden pavilion.
A Green Transformation
The replacement of a deteriorating roof with a sustainable green roof alternative, reclaimed stone patio and sitting wall.

View Across the Pond
Pastoral pond view. A forgotten resource, long neglected is now protected and enjoyed.
Grey Goose Pond
In 1905 Grey Goose Pond, was created to beautify the area while serving as a source of ice supply for refrigeration. In 1945 the Modernist Garden Pavilion was built for community meetings. It had since deteriorated and instead of choosing demolition, the clients embraced a renovation that incorporated the landscape with a sustainable roof.
The intimate sitting and garden terrace was created with slabs of weathered bluestone, native flowering shrubs and ground covers.
To provide access to the roof, a stone stairway was carved into the fireplace exterior, staying within the footprint of the original structure, and not blocking any of the interior views.
