Landworks Studio » Lexington Residence

This Lexington garden creates a sense of place and address through the establishment of a texturally ranging, vegetal quilt. The scale of the quilt and strategy for the deployment of the landscape material were calibrated to expand the dialogue between two majestic Beech trees, the historic nature of the Victorian home and the adjacent street edge. Plant materials were selected for their ability to happily negotiate the vigorous root system of the Beech trees and to create a lush and compelling entry sequence to the house, which terminates at the street in a wrought iron fence with stained glass circular windows, giving the site a playfully elegant public presence.
