Herschend Residence SHAPE & SPACE

“A HOUSE IS NOT A HOME WITHOUT A GARDEN.”

Nestled in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia, the Herschend residence offers a tranquil oasis for a family of four. In their quest for a serene yet functional outdoor space, they requested a rectilinear pool, guest parking, and play lawn for the children. The landscape design incorporates a range of shapes and textures, resulting in distinct yet cohesive outdoor rooms throughout the site. Careful attention was given to achieving harmonious proportions and balanced levels of enclosure to create an immersive sense of vastness or intimacy.
