Bridle Trails Residence

Bellevue, Washington

schematic planStudio 342 Landscape Architecture was contacted by the producers from Home and Garden Television’s (HGTV) Landscaper’s Challenge and asked to be one of the three competing designers for an upcoming show.  Each designer presented a plan to the homeowner, and Studio 342’s design was selected to be implemented. 

Studio 342’s design removed an expansive wooden deck and replaced it with a smaller bluestone patio that steps down to two concrete patios. One patio extends out toward the planting areas and lawn and has ample room for a table, chairs, and fire pit.  The second patio was designed to accommodate a future hot tub.  Nestled toward the back of the yard, an overhead arbor gives the space additional privacy.  Large granite boulders placed in the upper stone patio are the source of a cascading water feature that flows into the garden, where large boulders have been set for the kids to climb and play on.  An existing play structure was relocated closer to the open lawn area to give the children more room for play.  The layout gives the owners plenty of usable entertaining space and gives their boys plenty of room to play and explore.
