Modern Residence
The Meadow House
For a new modern home we kept the architecture calm and let the planting do the work: a mown lawn terrace by the pool, bands of meadow grasses beyond it, and native trees to settle the house into its site.

The Transformation
Before and after.

The Challenge

Our Response
