lean-cut stepper pathways allow access to all garden spaces, while concrete steps slip between oversized planting beds and traverse the steep transition in grade. At the lowest level, the intimate pool terrace is comfortably nestled between the house and lake. An array of plantings of varying scales ensures that the garden can be enjoyed up close, but also from afar. Natural stone outcroppings echo the textures and character of the surrounding woods.
