Project Description:

This Lake Bluff residence is a beautifully designed woodland setting for the client’s new Arts and Crafts inspired home.

While this home, driveway, and patio were newly constructed, we were brought into the project to unify the natural and manmade elements while improving the curb appeal, functionality, and flow of the site. In the front we visually expanded the space and made it more welcoming by incorporating a well defined lawn panel that unifies the circular drive and front entry. In the back we focused on preserving the naturally wooded areas while selectively removing undesirable trees and subtly regrading the lawn. With more light and better drainage, the healthy lawn and beautifully underplanted woodland borders provide the perfect setting.

Our client appreciates the blending of natural and manmade elements within the setting of her new home that makes it look like it has been there for years.
