Compact Living

About This Project

This compact landscape is designed to blur the boundaries of the home’s interior and exterior through a series of small outdoor rooms: “the foyer” a woodland garden; “the kitchen” a formal garden with aligned benches; and “the living room” an informal patio. Layers of vegetation, including amelanchier and paper-bark maple, evoke color, depth, and wilderness despite the site’s urban and central location. Hammocks, furniture, and trellises are carefully selected to define and animate each space while also complementing the privacy fence.
