A vacation retreat in Long Island, the owners sought to maximize their outdoor space, and transform their garage into a guest house. A lush landscape provides them with entertaining, and connections to the broader landscape through a series of terraces and planter beds. Emphasizing views to their private forest, this home provides the perfect escape into nature.

Reorganizing the circulation within the property makes stronger connections to the waterfront. Re orientating the entry drive provides more access and opportunity to expand the entertaining terrace. A mix of local natives, flowering shrubs, and raised beds create a stunning backdrop.
