Luxury LandscapesMost luxury landscape projects begin with the house itself and how the landscape design will work with existing porches, etc. Many designers will consider the inside of the house first, specifically those rooms that willopen onto the new outdoor living spaces. Sometimes thisinvolves changes such as new doors opening off thekitchen or great room.

Luxury Landscapes will broaden its coverage in futureissues to include patio doors, kitchen design, exterior finishes, and interior design to bring these importantideas to our readers.

ABOUT THE COVER:

The home and gardens pictured on the cover are

of the famous Elkins estate near Philadelphia. The

house structure, parts of which date back to the

1700s and originally from England, encompasses

25,000 square feet. It was moved, stone by stone

and brick by brick to America in the early 1900s.

Architect Robert McGoodwin directed the design

and construction of the Elizabethan style estate on

what was then 47 acres on the edge of historic

Chestnut Hill. The current owners enlisted

the talents of landscape architectural firm,

Outerspaces, Inc., to create an updated landscape while preserving much of the historical

character of the grounds. Outerspaces, Inc., is located in the northeast region of the

country and is featured on pages 52-57.

A swimming pool area is flanked by borders of lush summer flowering perennials. A terrace of misty rose Arizona sandstone provides an elegant frame for the pool and is cool under foot even on the hottest days.

LUXURY LANDSCAPES 45

WWith a clientele that is well known to most of us, Hollander Design and its talented team of landscape architects and designers create dramatic landscapeprojects in the Hamptons, coastal Connecticut, and pastoral New York. Headed by esteemed landscape architects Edmund J. Hollander and Maryanne Connelly, Hollander Design has a combined experience of 25 years craftingluxurious landscapes in all types of settings. “Our goal is to create a synthesis andintegration between the landscape and architecture,” says Hollander. “Our firm’sspecialty is translating a client’s dreams into spectacular landscapes that appearto have always existed.”

Before a site is transformed, Hollander’s designers begin by having a conversation with the homeowners: they want to discover all they can about the client and the proposed venue. Since every property contains diverse elements, the resulting designs must speak to the site’s architecture and the family who will enjoy the special place. “Like the great estates of the past, ourdesigns express regional and local context, but most importantly, our designsconvey the individual property’s unique character,” says Connelly. “That is ourgreatest success.” �

A seating area punctuates the end of a terrace. A bespoke arbor provides the backdrop.
