Old-World Elegance in Flanders, NJ
THE CHALLENGE
Your home should be a reflection of your style — inside and out. This homeowner in Flanders, NJ, wanted an outdoor space designed for effortless entertaining while maintaining the timeless elegance of their home’s architecture. But creating a multi-functional space that felt both inviting and cohesive was a challenge. Without careful planning, the space could feel disconnected and lack the warmth needed for memorable gatherings.
OUR APPROACH
We understand how important it is to have an outdoor space that feels as refined as the rest of your home. With that in mind, we designed a landscape that effortlessly guides guests from arrival to relaxation, blending old-world charm with modern functionality.
Grand Entrance & Guest Parking: Installed a curved paver driveway leading to a tucked-away guest parking area on the hillside.
Defined Walkways: Designed a paver pathway to seamlessly guide visitors from the entry to the entertaining spaces.
Layered Entertaining Areas: Created four distinct yet connected spaces, unified by paver surfaces and stone walls.
Classic Pergola Feature: Constructed a pergola with classical columns to enhance the architectural charm and provide a focal point.
Central Fireplace: Designed a grand fireplace as the heart of the lounge area, adding warmth and ambiance.
Outdoor Kitchen with Bar Seating: Positioned the kitchen to overlook the fireplace, encouraging social interaction.
Elegant Dining & Breakfast Deck: Developed a spacious dining area for larger gatherings and a more intimate breakfast deck for casual moments.
