Fox Chapel Garden

Project Description: 

Just north of downtown Pittsburgh, Fox Chapel is a borough of rolling wooded hills and meadows. The Fox Chapel Gardens situates a new private residence at the top of a sloping site with a series of stepped gardens arranged around a perimeter of the house. With a modern sensibility that integrates the building architecture and landscape, the Fox Chapel Garden creates an immersive landscape experience where views and circulation emphasize a connection to nature. The front meadow, primary lawn, arrival court, and stepped meadow are connected through a series of site walls, tree rows and groves, and garden spaces that provide a cohesive landscape experience across the site.
