This shingle style summer house was designed to be a generational family home. The house was designed on a narrow lot. The living area is an open floor plan that connects both visually and functionally to the outdoor space for indoor/outdoor living. The second floor Master Suite also has an outdoor connection with a second floor roof deck that connects the main house to the Carriage house. This is architecture of the the American Summer.

Saturday June 27, 10:00 to 11:30am | Riverside Riverside Waterfront Residence by Susan Cohen of Susan Cohen Landscape Architect A stately grove of white birches greets visitors at the entry to this hilltop home – a nod to the birch forests of the owner’s native Sweden. The house and gardens of this riverfront estate were carefully placed to take full advantage of the site’s spectacular waterfront panorama. A long bluestone terrace runs along the back of the house, providing ample seating areas from which to enjoy the views. Spring-flowering trees are planted throughout the landscape and a large country garden overflows with old-fashioned roses, perennials, and annuals. The lush flower border here, blooming in shades of pink, purple, blue, and yellow throughout the summer season, can also be seen from passing sailboats. At one end of this garden is a small spa, surrounded by flowers. The landscape, like the gracious house, was designed to be a welcoming place for gatherings of family and friends, and it serves this purpose well. Photo courtesy Susan Cohen

Inspiration for a mid-sized traditional landscaping in Philadelphia.

This gravel path is tucked away at the very back of the property and leads one to the "play house" and to a cosy bench that is hidden away from the rest of the property. This private oasis is planted with Oakleaf hydrangea, loropetalum, pittosporum and a hedge of privet. I call this perfection.
