oak hills

We were honored to contribute to the architectural palimpsest of this historic Rummer in the unique Oak Hills neighborhood. Our client’s property is surrounded by active playfields, so we amplified the soft vegetative screenings along the perimeter which in turn amplified the experience of moving through a series of outdoor rooms. The ranch style home is oriented around a central atrium and flows from the interior spaces to the gardens fluidly with floor to ceiling sliding doors and windows. Theis framework provided the opportunity of robust viewing gardens and creating a meditative path throughout the property. The planting design echoes the client’s love for Scandinavian/Japanese minimalism emphasizing layered textures, discreet fragrant blooms, natural stone and wood materials, and soft planes of no-mow lawn and ferns.
