This early 1900s Tudor-style home and grounds border one of the largest inner city parks in the Northeast. Frederick Law Olmsted designed this park in the mid-1880s, and it is apparent upon viewing the five-plus acres that the space carries the famed designer���s signature. The client���s growing family and a desire for a new space to entertain guests led to two construction/ renovation projects that enhance the magnificence of the grounds. The pool and patio area were selected as the first renovation project. The central focal point for the reconstruction was a Southwestern style pool cabana with Spanish flare. The design phase began with a focus on the architectural style of the home, as well as the styles in the surrounding neighborhood, leading to the creation of spaces that were congruous with the larger area. The planning included extensive architectural and landscape lighting to enjoy at night. April 2013 79
