Thinking Of Regent's Park
This park like garden with stately trees, beautiful borders, and stunning masonry is a showstopper. Mastering the connection between the outdoor and indoor spaces was a challenge. A pergola which we designed evolved into a glass conservatory. We designed and built the stone terraces, walls and steps, driveway, sited the conservatory, set the grades for the conservatory floor and terraces and designed an infinity edge pool with fountain.
There is so much that shines like a midsummer's day in this garden, glass tiles that mirror the shape of the glass conservatory dome, a water fountain that sounds like a babbliing brook at the edge of the dipping pool off the conservatory. We centered the larger lap pool off the new playroom to bring symmetry into the garden, extending the terrace, introducing wide gracious steps of buff limestone leading to the breathtaking garden. The long borders of vibrantly colored perennials and shrubs are stocked with natives, old roses, and unusual perennials and old hydrangea. The front plantings and island plantings are subtle with deer resistant perennials, mature hardwoods, expanses of lawn, a whimsical sculpture and sweeps of hydrangeas.
