Country Retreat.

This former crop-producing tract of land has transformed into a magnificent residential retreat, complete with open fields, walking trails, pond, swimming pool, bocci courts and firepit. The overriding theme integrates all proposed elements within the natural characteristics of the site. The entry drive slices through stands of existing locust trees while the straightforward swimming pool quietly becomes part of the adjacent fields and sky. Finally, the reconfigured pond conveys a serene impression from inside and outside the farmhouse during all seasons.
