Weekend Retreat

Our clients were drawn to the pastoral beauty of this horse country property. After two years of trying to adapt to a newly purchased weekend retreat, they realized renovation inside and out was necessary. Working within the existing footprint, the Architect reorganized and updated the residence, while Louis Fusco Landscape Architects gave new life to the outdoor spaces, interior/exterior connectivity and overall setting.
Built on a flat plateau with a high-water table, the original house and yard suffered from periodic flooding. Replacement of a large asphalt drive and paved hardscapes with porous alternatives, complimented our newly installed drainage system and adjacent bio-retention rain garden.  An awkward entry drive loop was redesigned allowing for adequate circulation and drop-off.
