Studying master architect, Le Corbusier’s control of light in his famous monastery, La Tourette.
In the afternoon, a friar embarks on a solitary hike through the woods surrounding the convent. Upon his return, he is met with a solemn staircase at the west entrance of La Tourette. Sprouting from the grass beneath, they beckon to the friar. He reaches the dimly lit opening to a cloister, admiring the upward slope of the ceiling. Asymmetrical windows facing the adjacent courtyard comprise the right side of the hall. The friar continues his journey through the cloister. The ceiling reaches maximum height, revealing a moderately sized atrium. Tall, open walls reach for the heavens, inviting the friar to meditate as divine light shines onto him in rhythmic vertical patterns. He reflects upon his life before becoming a member of the Couvent. He had meandered aimlessly through life until religion finally offered direction. God tenderly guides the friar as the staircase draws him to enter the cloister. The fabric of La Tourette defines a religious experience; its very shadows encouraging the devout musings of the deferential friar.

Stair railings designed and fabricated by Hueber Industries LLC, in Fort Collins, CO.

The property is pastoral in character with rolling, gentle hills and mountain views. Large scale planting design and installation had to bridge the gap between formal / natural and cultivated / wild. This was done by creating an illusion of effortlessness in the garden with balance of structure and softness as well as formality and naturalized forms that are always present yet change throughout the year. Plant material contributes a visual interest through foliage, stems, blooms and fruit.
A large pond was built and in order to improve the water quality a bio-filter was installed. Hardworking emergent plants and edge species filter the water as well as integrate the pond into the landscape. Plant material was selected for aesthetic qualities as well as wildlife food and habitat, particularly for songbirds and pollinators.
