OUTDOOR: Merit Award - More Than One Acre

Merit Award More Than One Acre
Kane Landscapes

During construction of a custom abode in Leesburg, Virginia, Kane Landscapes was tasked with devising and implementing a landscape plan proportionate to the home’s grand scale. “The infinity-edge pool and tile-clad spa are the eye candy, but there is truly something for everyone,” says principal Josh Kane. A large deck featuring a shaded bar creates space for covered seating below. Beside the pool, an outdoor kitchen is sheltered by a pergola; a gas-burning fire pit and a built-in trampoline are among the amenities.

"The blue tile around the pool and spa provides life to otherwise austere architecture.”
— Miles Barnard, jurist
