Yarrow Point Residence Modern Landscape, Seattle
Recognizing the natural constraints on a narrow, wooded site with substantial topographic variation, southern exposure, and small private framed views to Cozy Cove, the architect, landscape architect, and owners collaborated to create a design that focused on the preservation of existing vegetation and the relationship of interior and exterior spaces. This partnership formed the framework for the architecture and garden design to respond to one another.
The owner’s goal for their home was to maintain a strong and vital connection to the site, creating a fusion between home and landscape with a modern edge. The landscape design emphasizes structured and formal solutions in and around the building and its social spaces, while the site’s perimeter is soft and natural. The result of these efforts is a strong and clear connection between architecture and garden, integrating a palette of both modern and natural elements.

Embrace similarities. Find the common thread in your collection. Perhaps it is color, as shown in this photo. By embracing the common thread and allowing plants to show off their individuality with regard to texture or shape, you can create continuity while allowing parts of your collection to shine with their own unique qualities.

The PeriodThis punctuation mark indicates completion of a thought, perhaps leaving room for another thought to begin. The Japanese forest grass (Hakonechloa macra, zones 4 to 9) provides the perfect end to a section of this garden. Perhaps another garden chapter begins just out of view.
