Landscape design by Lansing Duncan
The lawn begins at the entry and curves gracefully around the end of house to the recreation area seen in the distance. On the south-facing hillside beyond are located the satellite dish and the solar panels for heating the swimming pool.
The pool seen here and indicated on the the floor plan represents a change from my original design with which I was dissatisfied. Just after the excavation for the hole had begun I awoke in the middle of the night determined to find a better solution. By moonlight I finally came up with the idea of building the pool terrace as a "reflection" of the angle of the front terrace, and by daybreak I had the plans redrawn, new stakes set, and was ready to have the surprised excavation contractor back-fill part of his previous day's work.
