Bell Design, Inc. playfully notes the contradictions of a landscape architect’s life: neither architect nor gardener, landscape architects practice in the spaces between many disciplines. A landscape architect works with an unusually broad palette. Every element, whether natural or constructed, has its own materiality, its own behavior over time, and its own impact on humans and the environment. From the wonder of a child’s tree house to healthful areas for athletic exercise and recovery to the desire for comfort and indulgence in our mature years, our favorite outdoor spaces evolve as we do.  

Vita – ­Our circular entry garden highlights the delight of childhood and the provocation of youthful ego intertwined with hints of Modernist design and Bando.

Purgatorio – In collaboration with Kohler and Brown Jordan, Bell Design creates serene space to contemplate and relax and expiate one’s sins.  Shaded seating and a colorful juice bar flank the latest in home wellness technology.

Voliera – A floating sculptural cloud skims the Aviary Garden. A custom bird bath and ombre-scaled back chairs welcome all of God’s winged and finned creatures. Coral lipstick palms and silver Bromeliads anchor the diaphanous space.

Paradiso – Metals dominate in the bronze and steel of the Cocktail Garden from furnishings to plantings.  The central Seraphim Bar by Belt Metal takes inspiration from Les Lalannes with complementary contemporary steel Atelier Artizan lounge furnishings.  The monumental “FLO” by David Harber contains the axial view to the water with a bronze keyhole into the sublime.
