The Indian design principles of Vasthu Shastra inspired the design for this landscape. In Vasthu Shastra, the home is divided into quadrants, which correspond to the four elements: earth, fire, air and water. Each element relates to specific colors, shapes, textures, and types of activities. Crowley Cottrell and LDa Architecture worked closely with the clients to translate these principles into a cohesive design for this New England house and landscape. Crowley Cottrell's design uses planting, walls, terraces, and earthwork to create a distinct character for each quadrant.
