Severn River Overlook

This idyllic location provides an outdoor oasis for the homeowners to enjoy with family and friends against the backdrop of the breathtaking scenery. The owners wanted the opportunity to enjoy the comforts of home in their outdoor living are. Our team worked closely with the client to fully implement the conceptual plan developed by their landscape architect. The project is centered around the large oval swimming pool with a vanishing edge surrounded on 3 sides with a flagstone patio. A Cabana was designed to include a bathroom, utility room with washer/dryer, outdoor kitchen/bar, and outdoor shower. The large cedar pergola was designed to define the entrance to the space from the driveway as well as provide shade for the seating and dining area. The spa was carefully tucked in to the corner of the pergola surrounded by stone walls that further define the space.

Large mass plantings of shrubs, perennials and grasses were carefully placed around the space to provide year round interest with color and texture. Trees were strategically placed to create vertical interest without obstructing the views of the river. Lighting for the project was carefully designed to highlight the space at night without obstructing the views of the Naval Academy.
