The front entryway features a tall archway with a Porta Romana chandelier as the centerpiece. The path following leads through the courtyard to arrive at the front door. The archway motif, used throughout the home, was inspired by the streets of urban Italy that feature unique entryways to courtyards and piazzas.

The pool and water feature align along the length of the backyard. A Carol Feuerman sculpture is highlighted by the reflective surfaces and cascading water wall behind it, reminiscent of Mies Van Der Rohe's use of sculpture in the Barcelona Pavillion. Cypress trees are used throughout the landscaping inspired by the Tuscan countryside.
