Williams Landscape
The Williams needed a landscape that brings balance: one that gives them a flat, usable backyard; accessible for their relatives; contained for children and pets, yet not confining the views in the neighborhood. They decided on a wall-fence combination that allows for permeable views. The plantings were minimalistic recalling a modern Japanese landscape. Native plantings, such as Kentucky canebrake bamboo and Prairie Dropseed, are used throughout. Earthen ramps give an alternative to to using most of the stairs. Both the front and backyards are slightly raised planes that define the public and private spaces.

The Williams Landscape centers on a simple, yet modern landscape. For them this meant embracing some forms reminiscent of Japanese styles and plant selection. These images show some of how this landscape was created. Video of the landscape will be shown in coming days.
