Key West Classic
“An honest pool within a fantastic grove”
“An honest pool within a fantastic grove” is what the Danish Industrial Designers requested when they hired us to design their home away from home. Brick, “a material that doesn’t try to be showy”, like you see in historic forts around the island, was chosen as the only hardscape material to add a lived-in character to the contemporary home design. Large existing multi-trunk palms were relocated to act as sculptural features. The pool coping was raised to be relevant and purposely split the garden between the main house and guest house. Tropical understory was strategically selected to create textural interest and increase the privacy between the two areas.
