Island in the Sky in Montville, NJ
THE CHALLENGE
Perched high above the countryside, this Montville, NJ property needed a landscape that embraced its dramatic elevation while feeling intimate and inviting. The homeowners dreamed of a private escape that blended into their landscape—an outdoor retreat where they could entertain in an outdoor kitchen, unwind, and fully enjoy their breathtaking views.
With its steep elevation and rugged terrain, creating a seamless outdoor experience seemed nearly impossible. The homeowners loved their view but needed expert guidance to turn their hillside property into a functional yet intimate retreat.
