2014 APSP International Awards of Excellence
This Mediterranean style villa with a unique radial-style core was specifically designed to take advantage of the outstanding elevated lakefront views. An infinity edge pool was a must to create the water-to-water connection that was desired, and a lautner-slot perimeter overflow system was also incorporated to bring the reflective pool water level flush with the patio and to take that connection all the way to the patio level. The materials selected and installed emphasize the Mediterranean style of the home, and the variety of foliage color and textures provide low-maintenance visual interest from one side of the point location to the other. A fully integrated landscape and night lighting system transforms the entire space from all viewpoints at night, serving to draw visitors out of the home and from the lake to the space to enjoy its intrinsic character by both day and night.
