Classical landscape architecture embraces the meaningful order of distinct, individual spaces.
This structured garden design establishes unique rooms and takes advantage of axes, vistas, and defined proportions. The view from the elevated terrace opens on to the pool while sculptural elements pull the eye further into the landscape and act as hidden gems. Based on a traditional English landscape, the Great Lawn is edged by intimate niches that supply vignettes of visual interest, while bosques and allees of trees give a sense of elegance. Formally-clipped hedges surround the pavilion that is as an outdoor oasis enjoyed throughout the seasons.
