Lombardy Estate Pasadena, California 1983:
This Classic Country Estate is located in an unincorporated area of Pasadena boarding San Marino and was originally built in the early 1930’s. The residence was influenced by Southern Colonial Architectural design elements like those found in the American Deep South.
The estate has sweeping views looking up towards the San Gabriel Mountain Range. In 1983 Glen Hampton garden designs was contacted by the Pasadena Showcase House of Design and asked to restore the existing swimming pool which was in bad repair.
Landscape Designer Glen Hampton ended up placing an entirely new pool inside of the old pool shell; installed brick decking; custom made waterline tile with “Xanadu” strip lighting to add drama (an affect relatively unheard of in 1983); placed a tiled medallion on the floor of the pool, depicting the wild green parrots that roam the area; added a classic columned gazebo - pergola with black and white tiled paving, which matched the columned portico entrance to the residence; a tiered sandstone fountain; installed garden lighting; and brought in numerous colorful orchids and perennials to complete the pool restoration and classic gardens design.
