Key West Modern
“A walk on the water with a wild side”
A bold front yard pool with a clean perimeter overflow is the defining feature of this property. The goal was to walk over water as you make your way to the home’s entrance. Once there an elevated seating platform with an integrated fountain was designed to not only respect, but enhance, the architectural facade. Lush tropical planting flanking all edges provide green interest as well as privacy. The backyard was designed for entertaining but in a looser sense with dense, dark surrounds and a high canopy that feels more like you’re tucked into a jungle. A wild contrast that accentuates thoughts of the front.
