E. Streetsboro Street
Built in the 1960s, this outdated residence became the dream home for California residents relocating to Northeast Ohio. She, an avid gardener, and he, a quiet entrepreneur, wanted a restful retreat to return to after long business trips. A comprehensive plan was implemented to create a complete renovation of the lot, adding grace and elegance to the newly renovated home. Working closely with the clients, KGK proposed extensive work, including tree removal, grading and drainage installation, and a New England-like expansive multi-tiered patio, with highlights like a pondless water feature, built-in fire-pit, landscape lighting, and several new planting beds. The integration of various lights along the exterior patio spaces adds ambiance to this private residence, including path and step lights to ensure illumination of gathering areas, underwater lighting to draw attention to the soothing water feature, and lanterns integrated into the fieldstone columns, creating a warm glow during relaxing summer evenings and late-night social events.
