The emotional tone of the property coupled with the client's wishes created the ideal framework for the ultimate design and installation of the project. The homeowners had engaged in a two-year interior renovation of their home—their attention to detail quite evident—and Stride Studios wanted to put as much effort into the exterior as the homeowners had put into the interior. With the advantage of starting from scratch, we were able to meet all of the client's desires, which included sculptural focal points, privacy barriers in the form of walls and trellis panels, multiple terraces and destinations, a sports court, a new driveway, and colorful gardens that use traditional design elements such as boxwood parterres. The clients were adamant about using high-quality materials such as wrought iron, stone flagging, granite cobbles, and clay brick. The final outcome integrated their wish list and went on to include a brick fence, arbor with bench seating, and a crushed limestone path which leads visitors around to the side of the house.
