master plan
Nestled among a wooded cove, the Brunelli residence is a destination through an alle of trees. Just before the front entrance, a meadow of native grasses creates a picturesque landscape. Inside the home, the great room opens into a spacious deck overlooking the estate and front gardens. The grand patio and outdoor kitchen look towards Lake Hartwell to create outdoor rooms to make this residence complete.
design intent: To design a large,high-end estate with dramatic topographyby utilizing its natural wooded and waterfrontviews.
The Brunelli residence features a juxtaposition of formal structure andinformal planting design to create interestat this waterfront lot. The grand patiofeatures a plunge pool that overlooks aprivate gazebo and fire pit, while panoramic views of Lake Hartwell play as its backdrop.

jacob’s rehabilitation center belize, central america
community redevelopment
design intent: To design a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility that encouraged an appreciation for nature and culture, while creating an oasis to nurture oneself.
Jacob’s Rehabilitation Center was a project I began during my 2010 internship. This master plan was used for fundraising purposes to bring awareness to this development in Belize. The rehabilitation center emphasizes the ability to grow food and to become self-reliant without the abuse of alcohol.

master plan
The Warrens were clients during my 2010 internship that had a narrow lawn space that they hoped to turn into a small garden. Many concepts and designs were created, but one that elongated the space and enhanced the existing shape seemed to work best to create this enclosed pocket garden. The parterre garden suited the residence well and added formality and character to the space. By creating a series of spaces through the stone walk, arbor entry, small sitting patio and parterre garden, this small yard became one with many vistas and unique touches.
design intent: To create a Charleston-inspired, pocket garden that provides a series of different spaces.
