Kendrick Street

This project is for a visionary medical professional with an eye for details and fun ideas. The problem was getting it through the ever-difficult Historic District Commission. Because of all that he wanted, they said the whole property has to be invisible from the road. We created a 6′ high x 200′ long serpentine berm and planted it with trees, shrubs, and ornamental grasses. The site sloped at about 3% from the front to the back, so we took full advantage by raising the front even more and dropping the back. This way the vanishing edge pool has a 4′ drop to the open lawn. The house is spectacular – designed by Chip Webster, with huge glass wall facing the pool terrace, spa, fire pit, and pool house. Getting all of this through the permitting was a challenge, but we succeeded. The client’s unique vision was realized through our collaborative planning, design, and implementation oversight, and it involved the whole diverse team of professionals.
