Landscape Design

Private Residence – Mequon, WI: The long irregular shape of the property was turned into an asset by developing a sequence of diverse spaces. A meandering entry drive serves as a path linking these spaces in the landscape. The upper, east end of the property includes a guest cottage garden, apple orchard, grand lawn, sport court, and formal perennial garden. The main house sits to the west atop a bluff with dramatic views of Lake Michigan. Here, the landscape includes terraces of sandstone edged by granite walls and gardens that transition beautifully over the topography. Other features include a swimming pool, outdoor fireplace, and formal lawn.

Landscape Design / Water Feature

Private Residence – Milwaukee, WI: Opposing themes of movement and stillness guided the design of two courtyard gardens at this residence. An atrium forms the central volume of the home with physical access available to two new south and west courtyards. Plants, stones and water were incorporated into the atrium and courtyards to form a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor space. The south courtyard was designed for social activity and entertaining while the west courtyard was designed for quiet privacy. Color was utilized subtly in plant selection so various shades and textures of foliage and branch could create seasonal interest and a sense of serenity.

Landscape Design / Hardscape

Private Residence – Delafield, WI: The goal of this first phase to the project was to provide a formal outdoor space for entertaining and seating and connecting the home to the outside. The formal pergola rests on stained and stamped concrete patio offering shade and a sense of framing the outdoor space. Phase II (currently underway) will be the addition of formal boxwoods, upright evergreens and other plant material for color and a fountain for added atmosphere.

Residential Home Architectural Design

Private Residence – Merton, WI: In this project the client wanted a custom to reflect their personality and compliment their lifestyle. This 4,500 sq. ft. custom 4 bedroom 4 ½ bath home features stone and brick exterior, large open two story great room, foyer space and covered portico entry, along with a wonderful main floor master. There is also a large back covered outdoor living area with a two story roof for outdoor entertaining.

Master Planning / Landscape Design

LashBrook Private Riverfront Community: The Lashbrook property deserved a special attention and land planning along with landscape design due to the development’s size and location making optimum use of the 180+ acre site which has 116 residential lots. It was essential to maximize use of topography and natural beauty of the site. Incorporated into the master plan is a community room with fitness facilities, a pool and poolside open air gazebo with an outdoor fireplace, tennis courts, basketball court, a playground and a community marina.
