Contemporary Italian Manor - River Oaks, Houston
This palatial River Oaks estate embodies a neoteric, mediterranean influence. The front landscape is centered around an elaborate parterre garden, offering elegance and sophistication while the backyard boasts an ornate, poolside retreat. Container grown Italian cypress and spiral juniper add interesting visual elements and a grand, ivy-covered wall give the space a geometric, art deco appeal. Ivy arches, carved columns, and sharply pruned boxwood spheres create a stunning, yet cohesive, impact.
