TUSCAN – Mediterranean

Located on a golf course in Wales, Wisconsin, this Mediterranean-style home is the ultimate home for entertainment. The home was designed with the intention of equaling the quality and feel of a Tuscan Villa. Complete with a Porte-cochère, this home features a bluestone auto court, a lavish central fountain, massive olive jar planters, and much more.

The builder of this home wanted to create an extremely authentic home of the highest quality. It was also important that this massive home be intimate, warm, and welcoming. To achieve this feel in the backyard landscape design, the landscape architect created outdoor “rooms” that were surrounded by stone walls, tall plants, and wood features. All of which provide separation from other outdoor areas.

Other features included in the landscaping are an outdoor kitchen, hot tub, bar area, fire table, stone bistro table, and extensive landscape lighting. To introduce color to the monotone exterior colors of the home, plant selection focused on vibrant colors, season-long color, numerous locations for annuals, and many large, colorful Vietnamese Clay planters.
