Beachside Planting Restoration
A mix of erosion control natives and salt-tolerant hardy species for year round interest.
Sun and Entertainment Patio
Pool and entertainment patio structure designed to mimic the bow of a ship overlooking the sound.
Rest and Relaxation
Balanced proportions: The lawn sun terrace, with gravel cutouts for lounges, reduces storm water run-off while integrating contrasting material and textures.
Seamless Transition
Custom glass tile and infinity edge create a visual seamless transition between land, sea and sky.
Peaceful Dining
Terrace with low maintenance, cool porcelain tile for comfort and reduced “heat island” effect.
Beach Front Lookout
Forces of nature cause wear and tear on beach front properties. Landscape Architects must take this fact into consideration when designing sites that are close to the water.
The client wanted to restore, reinforce (post hurricane), renovate and create an outdoor entertainment space with the best amenities.
Louis Fusco was ready for the challenge of solving the water issues (drainage, sea surge protection) and create a first class entertainment area. Due to the proximity to the Long Island Sound, Louis brought the ‘bow of a ship’ detail into the design. Elaborate entertainment, dining and kitchen spaces were integrated into the ‘bow’ . The pool and patio terraces were programmed up close as an extension of the existing house plinth. Storage capacity was designed under the patio structure, and a sunken lawn area was placed behind concrete sea walls (double layer). Louis Fusco enhanced the beauty of this stunning property.
