Golightly Landscape ArchitectureGolightly Landscape Architecture was commissioned to reimagine the gardens of this beautiful, modern French country home in Birmingham. GLA wiped the slate clean in redesigning the pool garden, updating the exterior to match the gorgeous interior. After finishing the pool garden, we were commissioned to design a terrace and water feature off the home's living room. The resulting reflection pool and surrounding boxwood hedges creates a calm, modern outdoor room the client enjoys throughout all seasons of the year.

Axis Mundi"Revival” implies a retread of an old idea—not our interests at Axis Mundi. So when renovating an 1840s Greek Revival brownstone, subversion was on our minds. The landmarked exterior remains unchanged, as does the residence’s unalterable 19-foot width. Inside, however, a pristine white space forms a backdrop for art by Warhol, Basquiat and Haring, as well as intriguing furnishings drawn from the continuum of modern design—pieces by Dalí and Gaudí, Patrick Naggar and Poltrona Frau, Armani and Versace. The architectural envelope references iconic 20th-century figures and genres: Jean Prouvé-like shutters in the kitchen, an industrial-chic bronze staircase and a ground-floor screen employing cast glass salvaged from Gio Ponti’s 1950s design for Alitalia’s Fifth Avenue showroom (paired with mercury mirror and set within a bronze grid). Unable to resist a bit of our usual wit, Greek allusions appear in a dining room fireplace that reimagines classicism in a contemporary fashion and lampshades that slyly recall the drapery of Greek sculpture.
