Garth Road Residence
Location: Albemarle County, VA
Status: Completed 2019
Nestling this house and gardens into the landscape was the design intention for this 15-acre property that is sited along a well-traveled country corridor. Sculpting the landscape, reforestation, and a fieldstone retaining wall creates an audible buffer from traffic and directs the sightlines towards the Blue Ridge mountains. Within the walled garden, a crushed stone dining terrace, level lawn and stepped perennial garden offer ample opportunities to enjoy the vista. Further afield, mown walking paths provide access to the rest of the property for people and pups alike.
