MONTGOMERY

Working with Departure Architecture, whose home design melds communal gathering spaces with private quarters for three generations of family members, we crafted a landscape that plays with indoor/outdoor & communal/secluded spaces tucked into - and around - the house. 

The design includes a central elevated patio with a private sunken hot tub off of the primary bedroom, a backyard with play space and separate gardening areas for parents and grandparents, and a front porch for viewing native meadow gardens. 

This property also presents the challenge of working with heavy clay soils and all rainwater must be channeled into above-ground basins. These elevated steel planters will provide on-site water filtration and support native water-loving gardens.
