Yarrow Point Residence
Recognizing the natural
constraints on a narrow, wooded site with substantial topographic
variation, southern exposure, and small private framed views
to Cozy Cove, the architect, landscape architect, and owners
collaborated to create a design that focused on the preservation
of existing vegetation and the relationship of interior
and exterior spaces. From one room to the next, in the home
and in the landscape, the architecture and garden design respond
to one another.
The owners were an integral part of the design process. Their
goal was to maintain a strong and vital connection to the site,
creating a fusion between home and landscape with a modern edge. The
landscape design emphasizes structured and formal solutions
in and around the building itself and its social spaces, while the site’s
perimeter is soft and natural. The result of these efforts
is a strong and clear connection between architecture and garden,
integrating a palette of both modern and natural elements. |
