30,197 Transitional Garden Design Ideas

Architect: Blaine Bonadies, Bonadies Architect Photography By: Jean Allsopp Photography “Just as described, there is an edgy, irreverent vibe here, but the result has an appropriate stature and seriousness. Love the overscale windows. And the outdoor spaces are so great.” Situated atop an old Civil War battle site, this new residence was conceived for a couple with southern values and a rock-and-roll attitude. The project consists of a house, a pool with a pool house and a renovated music studio. A marriage of modern and traditional design, this project used a combination of California redwood siding, stone and a slate roof with flat-seam lead overhangs. Intimate and well planned, there is no space wasted in this home. The execution of the detail work, such as handmade railings, metal awnings and custom windows jambs, made this project mesmerizing. Cues from the client and how they use their space helped inspire and develop the initial floor plan, making it live at a human scale but with dramatic elements. Their varying taste then inspired the theme of traditional with an edge. The lines and rhythm of the house were simplified, and then complemented with some key details that made the house a juxtaposition of styles. The wood Ultimate Casement windows were all standard sizes. However, there was a desire to make the windows have a “deep pocket” look to create a break in the facade and add a dramatic shadow line. Marvin was able to customize the jambs by extruding them to the exterior. They added a very thin exterior profile, which negated the need for exterior casing. The same detail was in the stone veneers and walls, as well as the horizontal siding walls, with no need for any modification. This resulted in a very sleek look.

A superior paver walk can serve as a mysterious and intriguing path through the farthest reaches of the garden.

While creating the expanded entry, the landscape area between the driveway and house allowed for a new “green front porch,” allowing a shaded allee of Foxtails and 15,000 brick modules, developing a patterned turf rhythm. Podocarpus, with walking iris, soften the ground plane and allow a hierarchy of foliage massing to accent the zoysia turf area. Lighted for ambiance and safety, the shadows create a unique nightscape for the homeowners to enjoy. Busk and Associates (Naples, FL) served as the landscape contract and W. Christian Busk (Naples, FL) was the landscape architect for this project.
