2026 Outdoor Design (Landscape with Pool) Winner: Forever Home
Designed as a long-term residence, this Seacoast home integrates architecture and landscape to support an active, evolving lifestyle. Outdoor spaces are central, with a covered patio that has a recessed screen system overlooking the pool serving as a primary gathering space, and a chemical-free, natural swimming pool seamlessly integrated into the landscape. The home’s large, well-proportioned windows bring natural light deep into the interior and reinforce connections between interior and landscape. The result is a cohesive environment that supports daily life while maintaining a strong sense of place.
What the judges said: Pool, porch and landscape have a direct, appropriate and soul-enhancing relationship.
