They plan to have a few chairs, a small table, and potted plants to help create a pleasant space for reading, relaxing, and performing their morning yoga exercises. They enjoy sitting, reading, lying in the sun, and listening to music. Because there is a small hill along the front yard, they envision a raised lawn with a low wall to retain the soil. The Englewoods are very friendly, but very private people. They like curved forms, especially arcs. They enjoy planting and maintaining their lavish annual and perennial gardens at their current residence, and look forward to doing the same at their new cottage. They prefer circular and flowing lines over straight or angled lines in a landscape design. They enjoy having neighbors over to visit, eat, and play card games. With their front yard being a major focus of their outdoor living, some privacy would be appropriate. Alternative #3: Residence of Amy and Travis Allendorf
The Allendorfs are a very gregarious couple. In addition, they would love to have some trees lined up along some of the arcs of the design, so as to create the sense of having a curved front yard, rather than a rectangular one. They would like to have a two — level entry terrace with a place to set a few chairs, a small table, and some potted plants. They love to walk and play tennis, and to cook. Although they plan to spend some time on their boat fishing and sightseeing, they are mostly planning to have enjoyable, restful, and fun times with their friends and neighbors. After raising three children and assisting them in completing college, they decided to step into their next dream. Although they are a friendly couple, they would like to have some sense of separation from the street and sidewalk. They enjoy bird watching, stargazing, and yoga. Being very casual, they anticipate having a rather natural-looking front yard. They would like to provide an expansive walkway along the driveway to offer a warm and welcoming entrance to their home. They are not in favor of any fences, because they would feel too confined to their front yard. Alternative #2: Residence of Katherine and Donald Glengary
The Glengarys are pleasant people who love the outdoors. With the architecture of the house consisting of stone and wood, they feel it would be appropriate to incorporate the same materials into the landscape. They are active people who love to walk, golf, and play tennis.
