Review Quotes:
"In his newest book, landscape architect Edmund Hollander presents gardens as vital living spaces that extend the sanctuary of our homes outdoors. Featuring countryside retreats, coastal havens, and city oases, Hollander illustrates a variety of garden styles, each demonstrating the outdoors as a place for refuge and inspiration." -- VERANDA
Hollander explores the idea of home as the natural surroundings that people live in: a place of living, changing beauty, refuge, and above all, joy, where family and friends gather to create a lifetime of memories.
The book presents homes in the countryside, along the coast, and in town--and features a rich diversity of projects, from country estates to rooftop gardens. Throughout, Hollander discusses essential elements in his firm's work: the importance of the procession of entry to a house, as well as its context in the landscape; the positioning of plant life and trees; the way people move into and through a property; and the way a garden looks and changes through the seasons. .
