An event-driven landscape renovation.

In anticipation of their daughter's nuptials, the owners decided to renovate their spacious backyard. The design addressed several important issues that had to be resolved for a large event to take place there. Safe access and circulation that included numerous activity nodes on the sloping terrain, adequate space for a large tent, and the privacy and security of the guests were among those issues. The resulting master plan features twin stairways, a stone seat wall, a secondary stone terrace and expansive lawn that complement the architecture and materials of the historic house. Guests navigated easily between activities while enjoying the gardens and a beautiful September evening.
