The first of which is the concept of the boardwalk. Please review the attached photos of their boardwalk installation. What I liked about this example is the scale which is very long horizontally across the property as a boardwalk and very steep vertically as a boardwalk stair. I would like to emphasize this here at LSJ but make it more dramatic. I also loved the built in benches along both the stair as well as the boardwalk. We could do a variety of seating styles, some areas open, some covered for shade, different types of moments. They have used a mixture of both wood and the synthetic wood for both the railings and the planking. The synthetic looked pretty good and we should definitely look into it. I would like to proceed with the concept of tying in the "landscaped" areas: the nursery, Pop's garden, the Tiki Hut, the salt pond, the fruit trees, banana plantation with the Gym. These are currently all disparate areas wanting to be pulled together and this zone would be perfect for a long stair from the Gym to the Beach with a boardwalk, benches, shaded pergolas , etc. tying in all the other elements horizontally. The boardwalk would be where one would be able to walk through, visit, rest and hang out. Let me know what you think and if I can proceed with this concept. EFTA00774301 Regards, Silvina EFTA00774302
