Verdant Walls
The garden is a literal extension of
the house for everyday living. The
combination of material selection and
structural composition respond to the
simple, distilled forms of the house.
When viewed from the home’s two
balconies, the garden’s graphic compo-
sition of space, materials and planting
carries the sense of the city’s urban
fabric into the site. The intimacy and
restfulness of each room is also obvi-
ous from this vantage point.
Lutsko concludes with three words
to describe the project: “Simple, subtle,
gratifying.” n
