Located in a heavy
foot traffic area, the
redeveloped space
evokes a change of pace
and invites its visitors to enjoy the
open lawn or shaded arbor. White
noise from the fountain encourages
a sense of escape, as this oasis is a
quaint buffer to its surroundings.

preliminary concept
The Warrens were clients during my 2010 internship that had a narrow lawn space that they hoped to
turn into a small garden. Many concepts and designs were created, but one that elongated the space
and enhanced the existing shape seemed to work best to create this enclosed pocket garden. The
parterre garden suited the residence well and added formality and character to the space. By
creating a series of spaces through the stone walk, arbor entry, small sitting patio and parterre garden,
this small yard became one with many vistas and unique touches.
