This six acre property is located in Hamptonburgh, New York. Karen was responsible for designing the front entrance to the home, parking court, swimming pool space, entrance walls, and plantings. The project started with a front walkway to the new home and a modification to the existing driveway to create a parking court for guests. The home-owners love clean, modern design with crisp lines and forms. Karen worked closely with the homeowners to create spaces in harmony with the client’s aesthetic, the home and the property.
Karen designed a swimming pool space apart from the home to serve as a private retreat in their own backyard. She worked closely with an architect to create an open pool house. She designed the trellis structure and the patio areas, along with all the plantings. A deer fence was installed around the entire property. Karen designed the gate and front entrance to the property. Plantings are simple and elegant. Karen and the home owner visited the nursery so the home owner could help pick out the special plants. Native trees were used along with Japanese Maples and a Purple European Beech, chosen to provide focal points and color in the landscape.
