Landscape Construction & Installation: Summerhill Associates
Landscape Architect: Terrain Work
The owners of this beautiful new construction nestled on the banks of the Hudson River wanted to showcase the impressive landscape from their decks and outdoor living areas, and equally from the vantage point of boaters passing on the River. We focused on subtle 360° illumination around trees and planting beds. A blend of subtle uplighting and downlighting, and silhouette lighting through leaves and branches, complement the views through the seasons.
