GARDENS
The garden sequence is choreographed to introduce the woodland setting into the cultivated landscape , beginning at the entrance court where a sensual and fluid relationship between architecture and landscape is immediately evident .
A hand-carved stone fountain — located at the convergence of two paths and framed by a grid of trees — forms a sculptural focal point within the garden . Beyond the low stone walls , a painterly vignette of columnar aspen trees unfolds , light and shadow enhanced by the flickering and trembling of leaves in the overhead canopy .
A glimpse of restored wildflower meadows and distant forest through the front door ground the home in its setting , while a mass of flowering native shrubs flanking a set of gracious stone steps provide an entry sequence that is highly sophisticated , yet regionally appropriate and comfortably understated .
