Glenby Residence
Brookville, Long Island

This project combines the design of a new pool and garden with an extensive renovation of a Brookville residence.  Here, a typical ranch house layout of open, haphazard volumes is clarified by giving major public spaces discrete, distinct volumes with rational inter-relationships.  The garden is conceived as a series of abstract planes that frame specific views of the pool, house, and garden through an "architectural promenade".  The garden's stacked stone walls, indicative of materials used historically in that region, equally assert a modern role for the garden wall (with SMA).
