Organic Modern

We conceived a sophisticated interplay between the natural and the built: native, ecologically-minded plantings set in deliberate contrast against precision hardscaping with clean, architectural lines.

The lifestyle program was deeply custom. We carved space from the building envelope to engineer an outdoor bar and bathroom integrated with the pool area, created a lounge overlook that doubled as a platform for the kids to jump into the pool, and constructed a custom water feature to acoustically buffer off-site noise. Planting species were carefully selected to support the tidal pond's living ecosystem — one that sustains turtles, frogs, and a rich diversity of bird species.

This project was recognized as a finalist for the CT Cottages and Gardens Innovation in Design Award.

My experience with Jessica Matteson has been nothing short of phenomenal: from conceptual planning to 3-dimensional mapping, plant and material selection, and supervision and installment. She is a true professional with exceptional vision and talent, and she has transformed my property into a truly remarkable outdoor experience. Her services are priceless.
