我们开发了一种新设计，将大胆对比的当代添加物与在马萨诸塞州布鲁克林的一个陡峭的山坡上精心修复的殖民地复兴大厦统一起来。 景观设计不是试图最小化建筑和地形的明显差异，而是利用这些对比中固有的戏剧。 在一个相对较小的半英亩的地方，我们将平面飞机与陡峭的斜坡并列，平滑细腻的表面与粗糙的和翻滚的墙壁。 铺路和简单的群众种植定义了一系列与现有房屋及其现代建筑相关的户外露台。 大胆而实用的景观设计充分利用了后院的30英尺高度变化，创造出一系列动态空间和惊人的优势。

We developed a new design to unify boldly contrasting contemporary additions to a meticulously restored Colonial Revival house on a steep hillside in Brookline, Massachusetts. Rather than attempting to minimize the obvious differences in the architecture and terrain, the landscape design exploits the drama inherent in these contrasts. On a relatively small, half-acre site, we juxtaposed flat planes with steep slopes, smooth and refined surfaces with rough-and-tumble walls. Paving and simple massed plantings define a series of outdoor terraces that relate to both the existing house and its contemporary addition. Bold yet functional, the landscape design takes advantage of the 30-foot elevation change in the rear yard, creating a series of dynamic spaces and surprising vantage points.
