A 1.3 acre property in Great Falls, VA was transformed into a series of interconnected outdoor rooms that balanced the site’s natural topography with the architecture of the custom residence. Formal gardens and resort-style living spaces, connected by travertine terraces, create distinct destinations throughout, while careful grading, evergreen screening, and layered horticultural installations enhance privacy and mute neighboring development. Focal points include stacked stone serpentine walls and layered plantings of Green Giant arborvitae, Skip Laurels, boxwoods, hydrangeas, and ornamental grasses; an 18’ × 48’ pool; a covered pavilion; and an amply equipped outdoor kitchen. A sunken woodland garden features a Longshadow lotus fountain surrounded by hundreds of woodland perennials, shrubs, and ornamental trees.
