73 BELOW: The home's most easily recognizable trans-relational environment—an environment that blurs boundaries and intertwines one spatial experience with the next—is the space that encompasses the outdoor dining room and kitchen. This transitional experience seamlessly merges the interior and exterior, moving from kitchen, to dining room and living room, to the outside dining and kitchen area, to the pool and finally the yard beyond. FACING PAGE TOP: To meet the client's intentions, we completely reinvented this property to modernize it and make it more in tune with a resort-inspired design. FACING PAGE CENTER: The home already had a swimming pool, small horse barn, tennis court and small fruit tree orchard—all of which we kept, while reimagining various aspects of these elements. Through an extensive hardscape and landscape design approach, working with [Place] - Pakshong Landscape and Architecture Collaborative, we merged the entire exterior environment into a trans-relational experience that's directly tied to the architecture. FACING PAGE BOTTOM: The architecture opens to the hardscape and landscape in so many locations that the house's interior and exterior environments blend into a single experience.
