Inspired Outdoor Living
TOP LEFT: This sunken water garden, located just outside this home's exercise room,
creates a private relaxation space to view and enjoy. There are more than 50 custom,
miniature LED fixtures recessed into the rain wall, all individually wired using gold,
quick-disconnect fiings and replacement modules for future replacement. This
was in 2010, long before LED was reliable!
BOT TOM LEFT: Water is always the most challenging — and I learned early to light
water from outside the water. Here, two stake-mount adjustable fixtures (one visible,
on the right) graze the edge of the fall and show the curved wall behind, creating a
strong, cohesive effect across the entire wall of the covered arrival.
FACING PAGE ABOVE: As you enter this Long Island property, you see this expansive
space. All the stone was from one quarry in upstate New York, and I grazed it to show
the amazing detail by the stone masons. Three levels of plant up-lighting fill in
around the structures, creating a cohesive scene.
FACING PAGE BELOW: In the view through the porte-cochere from the front door
to the forest beyond, lighting reveals the ground plane — for visual comfort — along
with the amazing dry-stack structure and the mature trees. It provides a strong scene
that allows the owners and guests to enjoy all parts of this extensive landscape.
