Our firm
acted as both designer and construction manager for this
new-construction home built on a challenging, steeply
sloping site in Delaware County. We used a series of terraces
in such a way that the change in grade was not only accommodated
but optimized, effectively and beautifully.
In the front yard a low, serpentine retaining wall made
of stone separates the circular entry drive from a unique
front courtyard. This courtyard includes an iron-tiered
fountain and granite-paver seating area.
In the rear, the focus is on a zero-edge pool with a dramatic
disappearing edge that takes advantage of the view and
the grade change. A combination deck and arbor provides
a separate space for the spa, as well as additional areas
for sitting an entertaining both above the pool and at
pool level.
