Residential Architecture

French Homes
French residential architecture can be accented by an ordered arrangement of shrubs and bushes that establish order and symmetry. The most famous French landscaping design is a parterre garden. Its cross-shaped design creates paths of gravel through walls of green. From a pedestrian point of view, it surrounds a person with rising walls of life. From an elevated vantage point, it divides the landscape into living quadrants of green. The modern parterre garden and French gardens are usually based on elements of the original, traditional form.

Italian Two Story and Townhomes
Italian residential architecture owes a great deal to the Roman Empire. Rome loved its structures so much that it often developed lifestyle itself around structure. Modern Italian art and architecture are much more opulent and somewhat Romantic compared to their Imperial predecessors, but there yet remains a touch of the classical in today’s Italian gardens that personify a fascinating blend of opulence and discipline.

Modern and Contemporary Homes
Modern and contemporary residential architecture are dedicated to man’s attempt to understand himself in relationship to himself alone. It relies heavily on geometric hardscapes, clear lines, sharp angles, and curious forms of 3D art. Only small areas of green are permitted on a modern landscape due because of its contention that Nature is neither something to be cherished nor destroyed, but rather ignored in pursuit of the supremely mathematical and rational.

Colonial Homes
Colonial residential design has a great deal of Old World formality still present in its design. However, like it is with most things American, you see find a relaxation of certain elements. Flower beds do not have to be perfect, but they do have to be neat. Trees do not need to be furiously trimmed every day, but they do need consistent maintenance and care. Walls and fountains should rise up more that hug the ground to mirror the archetypal columns that symbolize the whole essence of Colonial forms.

Traditional American Homes
Traditional residential architecture is characterized by a love for the beauty of simplicity and the practicality of daily life. It projects an essence of conservatism that is also curiously blended on the option of free thinking at the drop of a hat.

Accordingly, the landscape designs around traditional homes consist of basic elements like gardens, pools, fountains, flower beds, patios, and decks. Their uniqueness is generated in consultation where actual materials and arrangements of such things are determined by the personal values and tastes of the homeowner.
