G A R D EN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE AT ITS FINEST
ARTICLE SUSAN STAPLETON PHOTOGRAPHY SCOTT GAFFEN TUCKED AWAY AT THE END OF A LONG BRICK DRIVEWAY, PAST THE COURTYARD, BEYOND THE FRENCHINSPIRED RESIDENCE, YOU'LL DISCOVER BREATHTAKING WATERFRONT VIEWS AND A METICULOUS GARDEN. The landscape architects and construction team of Three C's landscaping were fortunate enough to have a blank slate to work with in 2003 for this creative project. The mix of extensive old-world traditional bricks and clean lines of bluestone and limestone blend beautifully with the clean-cut boxwoods to give the design a contemporary feel as well. Capturing the architect's vision, he utilized all of the natural elements surrounding the Estate. The water and foliage framing the property lead to the beautiful 'plant-scaping' and water features. Opening into the expansive rear grounds, you're drawn to the serene reflective pond on the grand patio. From the patio, you are surrounded by a meticulous lawn, decorative boxwoods, groupings of succulent greens and bouquets. Your feet never touch the grass, with a purposely placed stone path that sharply leads to the second prominent patio with a sunken fire pit and beautifully carved stone benches at the water's edge. One secret detail that can't be seen but is no less important is the Rill. This intricate feature was designed to carry water in a shallow channel winding throughout the property. Water was pumped from the lake and traveled down the side of the house to the front of the courtyard, curbing around the driveway, passing under the patio to the boardwalk and eventually dumping back into the lake. It's easy to see why this project in its entirety took nine months to create, but although this process was extensive, it wasn't overdone! No detail was spared with this design, creativity was at an all-time high and literally no stone was left unturned.

It's All About the Dough A RISING NEW CHEF IN GROSSE POINTE ARTICLE PAIGE PEABODY PHOTOGRAPHY LAURA MCCAFFERY
WHEN YOU MEET TRENTON CHAMBERLAIN, IT'S EASY TO SEE WHY THE BRICKS IS OFF TO A GREAT START. From his love of dough to his formal education, Trenton was born and bred to start his own pizzeria. His love of cooking came from helping his grandmother with a small restaurant in West Michigan during his formative summer years. His inspiration was derived from many mentors and extensive experience with wood-fired ovens. When Trenton graduated with his degrees in baking and pastry arts and hotel and restaurant management from the New England Culinary Institute, he was well on his way to becoming an executive chef. Just before graduation and nearly 10 years ago, the class assignment was to design a restaurant from start to finish. You can only imagine which one Trenton chose to create—yep, you've got it! He designed The Bricks, or at least its initial concept. His deep-rooted ideas came from Vermont where their way of life is sustainability. "Farm-to-table there is not a buzz word but what it really is," he says. In his business model, Trenton wanted to bring those East Coast values to reality and concentrated on organically grown, natural practices. He also wanted to bring the finest dough to the table. 20
Grosse Pointe Lifestyle | November 2019
"I have always loved dough. It's just been a part of me!" Trenton exclaims. He freshly mills the organic dough in-house and ferments it for 60 hours. This, he says, "elevates your experience." The restaurant receives fresh grains within 100 miles, and much of the fresh produce is grown on a local farm in Metamora. The Bricks, which opened its doors a few months ago, already has an enormous following. "It has become a home run in the park," says one local resident. Trenton's success is attributed to hard work, his happy staff and a bit of fate. His background speaks for itself, but what is also at the heart of his success is his dedicated staff. Trenton provides his employees with good salaries, personal services such as everyday meals and a community-like environment. "As much as there is a community we want to serve out there, we are a community in here," he says. Originally from Muskegon, this 29-year-old Michigan native also attributes destiny to opening these doors. "I was in the right place at the right time," he says. Trenton has a passion for dough, appreciation for his staff and a love for this Community. The Bricks is open Tuesdays-Saturdays, 4:30-10 p.m., and Sundays, 4:30-9 p.m. It is closed on Mondays. 15201 Kercheval Ave., Grosse Pointe Park | TheBricksPizzeria.com November 2019 | Grosse Pointe Lifestyle

SUSIE'S TOP THREE TABLE SETTING IDEAS Tip 1: Always add a touch of real and fresh to your tablescape. There is nothing as beautiful as fresh florals on the table! Tip 2: Be sure to layer different textures to keep the table interesting. Using feathers, fresh gourds and pumpkins with velvet pumpkins and corn—this tabletop comes to life! Tip 3: Don't be afraid to mix metals; have fun with it! Silver mixes well with gold, and pewter looks stunning with copper. Everything mixes!

28
Grosse Pointe Lifestyle | November 2019
PUMPKIN SPICE, APPLE CINNAMON AND A HOT CUP OF COCOA. Fall is all about getting warm and comfy as a chill hits the air—preparing yourself for winter, and cherishing those final moments of summer. As the nights grow longer, we’re embracing the Scandinavian secret of hygge by creating a space that emphasizes simple pleasures and finding joy in everyday moments—even when the weather is dreary. A burnt orange adirondack rug and woodland pillow set a ‘cozy cabin’ mood. Wicker baskets filled with apples and gourds are a reminder of the importance of the harvest, and a fun way to help teach young kids about the changing of the seasons. During this transitional time, light wood, fluffy blankets and scented candles beckon crisp autumn evenings, while a vase of fresh flowers—particularly mums—are an ode to the bright, sunny days we’re not quite ready to give up yet.
