Luxury Landscapes Most luxury landscape projects begin with the house itself and how the landscape design will work with existing porches, etc. Many designers will consider the inside of the house first, specifically those rooms that will open onto the new outdoor living spaces. Sometimes this involves changes such as new doors opening off the kitchen or great room. Luxury Landscapes will broaden its coverage in future issues to include patio doors, kitchen design, exterior finishes, and interior design to bring these important ideas to our readers.
ABOUT THE COVER: The home and gardens pictured on the cover are of the famous Elkins estate near Philadelphia. The house structure, parts of which date back to the 1700s and originally from England, encompasses 25,000 square feet. It was moved, stone by stone and brick by brick to America in the early 1900s. Architect Robert McGoodwin directed the design and construction of the Elizabethan style estate on what was then 47 acres on the edge of historic Chestnut Hill. The current owners enlisted the talents of landscape architectural firm, Outerspaces, Inc., to create an updated landscape while preserving much of the historical character of the grounds. Outerspaces, Inc., is located in the northeast region of the country and is featured on pages 52-57.

A swimming pool area is flanked by borders of lush summer flowering perennials. A terrace of misty rose Arizona sandstone provides an elegant frame for the pool and is cool under foot even on the hottest days.

With a clientele that is well known to most of us, Hollander Design and its talented team of landscape architects and designers create dramatic landscape projects in the Hamptons, coastal Connecticut, and pastoral New York. Headed by esteemed landscape architects Edmund J. Hollander and Maryanne Connelly, Hollander Design has a combined experience of 25 years crafting luxurious landscapes in all types of settings. “Our goal is to create a synthesis and integration between the landscape and architecture,” says Hollander. “Our firm’s specialty is translating a client’s dreams into spectacular landscapes that appear to have always existed.” Before a site is transformed, Hollander’s designers begin by having a conversation with the homeowners: they want to discover all they can about the client and the proposed venue. Since every property contains diverse elements, the resulting designs must speak to the site’s architecture and the family who will enjoy the special place. “Like the great estates of the past, our designs express regional and local context, but most importantly, our designs convey the individual property’s unique character,” says Connelly. “That is our greatest success.”
A seating area punctuates the end of a terrace. A bespoke arbor provides the backdrop.
