Project Details

Working with the project architect and building committee, To Design landscape architects provided site/civil plans for the expansion of this town resource. By carefully working with and preserving existing site elements (septic system, pavements, and utilities), a site plan was developed that accomplishes the goals of the client while minimizing expenditures.

At the rear of the building, we created a new courtyard to be used for reading, relaxation, and small events. The simple layout of the space reinforces and responds to the geometry of the new building expansion. Low maintenance, yet engaging plant material, makes for a four-season experience.
