Residential Landscape Water Feature

Residential Swimming Pool / Spa
First
AZD Associates-Architects - Floor-to-ceiling glass walls open the room, and a glass ceiling allows viewing from the living area above. An illuminated plastic grid suspended from the ceiling creates the illusion of water hanging from the ceiling.

Deck / Patio / Porch
First
DesRosiers Architects / Schaerer Architextural Interiors - Though this home occupies a corner lot near downtown Aspen, this space is private. The patio is entered via the family room through a wall of mahogany-trimmed Nana Doors that can be completely opened. Large squares of walnut travertine and exposed aggregate create the grid surface.

Conservatory / Screen Room / Sunroom
First
Dominick Tringali Architects - Because this home had virtually no rear yard, the backyard was brought into the home. This conservatory is a functional, all-season living space that allows light to flood into adjacent rooms.

Young & Young Architects / Thomas Sebold & Associates

Visbeen Associates
Residential Landscape Design Construction (Under One Acre)
First
Tuzinowski Landscape Co. - Because neighboring properties are much higher, arborvitae hedges were planted for privacy. Climbing hydrangea, Boston ivy, and euonymus soften the retaining walls. In the planting beds, large plant material gives the feeling that the home has been here for years.
Second
Zaremba & Co.
Third
Michael J. Dul & Associates
Residential Landscape Design Construction (More Than One Acre)
First
Great Oaks Landscape Associates - Formal and kitchen gardens are laid out closest to the main house with additional strolling and border gardens to enhance the view from the house. The grand entrance is softened with a knot garden.
