GREENWICH MODERN

GREENWICH \ CONNECTICUT

The design team was tasked to create a sustainable modern landscape that would complement a new, LEED certified home which would transition seamlessly into a densely wooded site in Greenwich CT. The completed landscape successfully preserves and integrates existing natural site features while incorporating the distinctive elements of the contemporary architecture as bold organizational components. While providing compelling visual interest between the sleek built environment and the natural site, the landscape design achieves a successful balance of a dynamic composition and an overall sustainable site solution.
