BRIDGEHAMPTON, NEW YORK
The long and narrow dimensions of this site required careful analysis to accommodate the owner's goals for the property: adding a pool and pool house to the existing structures, consisting of a main house at the front of the property and a smaller cottage in the middle. Large Norway maples aligning the edges of the site and a beautiful, 40' wide butternut tree, sitting almost precisely on the centerline of the land, were starting points for the design. To maximize the length of the site, we created a spatial progression of garden 'rooms' each of a different character. The great butternut tree was used as a focal point of the site. We circled the tree with hand-cut, lozenge-shaped, natural-face bluestone to reflect the tree's canopy on the ground plane.
