A portfolio of ten lushly illustrated residential landscape projects in California's wine country, each a lesson in the alchemy of garden design, created by landscape architecture firm Lucas & Lucas.
The work of landscape architecture firm Lucas & Lucas extends the architecture of the house into the garden through carefully selected elements of design. Each of the ten projects in Architectural Gardens includes a design narrative that addresses the interconnections between home and land, detailed captions, and a site plan.
As Mike Lucas explains in his introduction, "Architectural gardens create a union between the land and home, the indoors and outdoors, the natural and constructed. The goal of any designer should be to create a landscape that balances these elements in a beautiful and useful way."
Readers will learn how to implement features such as: Landscape windows Breeze-catching grasses Cascading concrete waterfalls Trees with thoughtfully cast shadows to transform their landscape
The book includes a roundup of Lucas's favorite plants--those best suited to different types of properties and for different purposes like drought tolerance or fast growth--and lists the specific plants used for each featured project.
Filled with gorgeous full-color photography, Architectural Gardens will appeal to garden designers, landscape architects, landscape contractors, architects, and home builders as well as home gardeners looking for inspiration.
