Imagine... a beautiful outdoor garden beckoning you-

This large executive home sits upon a pie-shaped lot high above Lake Monona.

Challenge
Unite the home with the street and the lake gracefully, while creating privacy and functional elegance for living and entertaining.

After







A little used garage is still accessible with grass planted in protective Turfstone™, an openwork concrete product that maintains a grassy appearance while allowing heavy vehicle use without damage to the lawn.





The entrance from the street draws the visitor to the front door through the use of a variety of stone, concrete, and pavers. Made of durable tumbled concrete designed to look like bricks, the pavers curve through the concrete drive leading the eye to an attractive entry area.















The stone and paver patio transitions from the upper lake view deck to the landing leading to the lake.





A hot tub, sunken into the slope, open trellis, and stone planters add warmth and beauty to the functionality of the space. The end result is a low maintenance living space that makes the most of the steep slope to enhance the beauty of lake side living and entertaining.








The lakeside of the property drops 30 feet from patio to the shore. Wooden and stone steps traverse the steep slope and flow into a tapestry of easily maintained creepers and shrubs along the way. A series of landings seem to float above the slope, giving reason to pause and take in the captivating lake view. At night, hundreds of tiny lights add an enchanting glow.
