033_Hammock Garden - Endangered Species Installation

The hardwood hammock is characterized by an extremely shaded atmosphere where a variety of native plants cluster together, competing for sunlight. This produces a unique condition where trees become extremely gnarly and wrangled. This typically old-growth forest gives the building a feeling that it has always been there, as the dense garden surrounds it.

All invasive trees were removed from the garden to make way for this new forest, which overtime, will create a unique sculptural condition against the dark-wood facade. 

The design-build relationship with this project allowed us to control all site work, both inside and outside the home from day one.
