The landscape design for this bay-front property integrates modern architecture into its surroundings by juxtaposing a formal, minimalist building and gardening aesthetic and a more natural environment typical of the Atlantic coastline.
The project demonstrates that sustainable landscapes are not only beautiful but also provide important habitat for wildlife, promote plant species diversity, respect the hydrologic cycle and eliminate much of the need for expensive, resource-dependent maintenance regimes and chemical applications.
