HOMES OF THE SPACE COAST
“For the pool, we wanted a clean, infinity pool
look without the infinity pool prices and the
infinity pool problems,” Parks said.
Susan Hall, the first lady of Space Coast
landscape architecture, put her elegant touch
on the plantings that surround the home. For
almost four decades, Susan Hall Landscape
Architecture, blending a deep understanding
of architecture, engineering, urban planning
and horticulture, has created visually pleasing,
as well as environmentally sound designs for
projects from the Florida Keys to Jacksonville.
The Kessel home carries her understated yet
masterful touch with plantings that are classic
and perfect.
A home that is a luxurious island resort
without the hassles of living on an island
— offers an oasis from Kessel’s demanding
profession. The only problem is that the
world of real estate provides always-changing
attractions that may be too hard to ignore.
“Kirk is already talking about new projects,”
Parks said with a laugh. Marine-themed art throughout the house adds a coastal touch.
In the pool and spa design, stylist Kara Parks aimed for the clean lines of an infinity pool, but without the accompanying cost and maintenance.
