Owner Testimonial: “We could not be more pleased to have Sean designing and managing our pool project. He is incredibly knowledgeable, diligent, but most importantly, professional. From the moment we met him it was obvious that he loves to design pools and cares about ensuring that the finished project fits the surrounding environment seamlessly. Sean, aside from being technically gifted, is a great listener who designs around how a customer ultimately intends to use the space. He is easy to get along with and takes immense pride in his work. We could not be happier with our project design and would highly recommend him, without reservation, to anyone looking to embark on a pool project, no matter how complicated.” - Jose & Nicole F.
Above: A rocky, moss-covered hillside overlooking the clients' residence presents a picturesque backdrop for an outdoor living space featuring retaining walls and stairs that accommodate a terraced 15' x 35' luxury pool and spa with patios, walkways, plantings, and lighting. The lower terrace includes a fountain wall and catch pool, fire pit, and grilling area.
Above: Breathtaking process images taken from a common perspective. As is typical in Harrison, New York, mechanical chipping was required in order to remove ledge rock conflicting with the work area. It is advisable, when indicators are present, to conduct preliminary tests to ascertain the presence of ledge rock and its potential impact on a project.
Above: While critical alignments express the architectural characteristics of the clients' home into the landscape, careful layout of design features in both elevation and plan, as well as material choices for stonework and plantings, connect the space to its surrounding environment. A professionally designed landscape blurs the line between built and natural features.
Above: Cascading textures -- from a custom water fountain to weeping cutleaf Japanese maples -- ripple across the landscape in one of LDC's signature design motifs. Moreover, red foliage of the weeping maples echoes the color and warmth of the flames, thereby adding dimension to a curated landscape that celebrates Fire & Water.
Above: A sequence of images illustrating lighting design for the project; the effect is stunning, and will evolve through time as the newly - installed plantings grow into their spaces. Notice how the shimmering glow of the underwater lights are mirrored by the flames of the fire pit, and how light gently bends and dissipates around the curved retaining walls.
