Laurel Hill
Water Mill, New York, 2001-02
This country manor is situated within
a large clearing on a 26-acre wooded
site. Intimate gardens on one side of
the home are countered by expansive
lawn and meadows on the other.
Beech hedge and boxwood define the
tighter outdoor living spaces centered
on the kitchen. Wild flowers and an
apple orchard characterize the meadow,
where a narrow 75-ft. swimming pool,
cabana and pergola are hidden.
Rusticated walls demarcate the two
districts, accessed by a wide, informal
grass ramp. The subtle use of agricultural references
create a simple elegance desired by
the clients.

White Pines House
East Hampton, New York, 2007
The setting for this contemporary
home on 7 acres is a glacial kettle
pond, rare on the East End of Long
Island. The forest of mature White
pines regenerated after the infamous
hurricane of 1938. The house
commands southern views over the
pond, as does the adjacent secluded
pool. A largely native plant palette,
along with judiciously placed
“erratic’ boulders, provides a seamless
connection between landscape and
garden. The floating steel staircase
of the interior are reinterpreted
for the entrance as raised grass
platforms.

Jardin des Volieres
Parentignat, 2002
Created for a private château
(c. 1707) in the Auvergne region
of central France, the focus of this
garden is a water “rill” 70 feet in
length. Flower parterres are
oriented along the rill, adapted to
the asymmetrical shape of the space.
Summer finds a profusion of prairie
flowers blurring the formal
composition with blossoms, textures
and movement. In winter, the garden
becomes a sober composition of
water, gravel and stone suited to
the French garden tradition and this
listed historic monument.
Lake House
Montauk, New York, 2007
This residential compound is situated on a steeply sloping lake-side site. A series of stones walls with oversized steps define terraced platforms for the house, guest house and swimming pool. Entrance to the property is through a structured motor court delineated by beech hedge, hydrangea and plane trees. Environmental regulations directed a palette of native plants, consistent with the local flora and the clients' request for a naturalized setting.
The gardens become progressively wilder and more exuberant as one approaches the lake.
