This residence sits on the top of steep slopes on the Hudson River. The challenge was to figure out how to fit a swimming pool into the landscape for a reasonable cost. Karen worked closely with the homeowners to design a swimming pool space in the front yard and a new driveway. The pool is completely hidden from the road and vehicular access to the site. Setting the pool lower than the existing landscape drains stormwater away from the house, provides more privacy, and creates the opportunity for a raised planting bed with a fountain wall.
