Set on a narrow three-acre lot descending forty feet from road to wetland, this landscape required a thoughtful balance of recreation and ecology. From the earliest stages, LaGuardia Design Group helped site the home and organize a complex program of outdoor spaces—tennis court, sports lawn, pool, and pool house—arranged as a series of terraces stepping gently toward a freshwater pond.

A buffer of native bayberry, grasses, and shrubs was planted along the pond’s edge to filter runoff and restore the area’s ecological health. The low, horizontal design complements the home’s earth-toned architecture and draws inspiration from the surrounding wetland flora. Native tupelo trees frame the house for privacy while echoing the natural vegetation beyond.

The winding driveway passes through a meadowed slope, concealing the tennis court and leading visitors toward the heart of the property. At the lowest level, a vanishing-edge pool and pavilion overlook the pond, uniting architecture and landscape in a calm, reflective setting.
