Antique & Modern

Modern elements blend with traditional ones on this small urban site.

 

After adding a new barn style garage workshop to accompany their antique house, an architect and art teacher had a thoughtful vision for connecting the old and new buildings through the landscape. They pictured a welcoming and comfortable entrance with generous vertical transitions, and private shady dining patio set within a lush planting. Key to their vision was a focal tree set upon a curved fieldstone retaining wall.

 

Permeable paving and stepping stone pathways help mitigate excess storm water.  Lawn was replaced with primarily native plantings that soften the hard elements and provide diverse texture with extended floral interest.
