Landscape architect Michelle Crowley’s clients wanted to welcome the wilderness in. The landscape team used a variety of methods to grow and enlarge the meadow landscape.The overall effect is pleasingly low-lawn, low-maintenance, and anti-suburban.
The parking court and front porch are flanked by a variety of meadow plants.
The front porch is made of Granite and natural cleft bluestone.
The porch overlooks seeded meadow grasses and wildflowers.
The outdoor dining terrace.
A bluestone path winds through the planted courtyard garden.
