ost
of Shane's Estate design work follows the more traditional model of a
19th Century self-sustaining, Estate. This typically includes a primary residence with many
outlying support structures, such as a conservatory, stable complex, or
guest houses, all of which can provide enough combined revenue to
support the operating costs of the entire Estate.
The site's
existing natural beauty is always given meticulous consideration to highlight
any existing streams, springs, ponds, meadows, or vistas. Shane often
incorporates traditional design elements such as reflecting pools with architectural follies to create more
private spaces. He frequently draws his inspiration from the pastoral
style of landscape design, often implemented by Frederick Law Olmsted
and Capability Brown.
