A classic Norman-inspired house on Long Island—shaped by echoes of Normandy and a broader European lineage (England’s garden rooms, Italy’s formal rhythm)—finds its counterpart in a landscape that is both structured and deeply alive. The approach is choreographed with evergreen punctuation and clipped forms, guiding you into a sequence of outdoor “rooms” where architecture and planting speak the same language. A diverse, layered plant palette builds depth and seasonality—hydrangeas, roses, lavender, nepeta, flowering trees, and meadow-like perennials—while topiary, allees, and crisp edges hold the composition with quiet rigor. The result is a garden of texture, fragrance, and long bloom, tailored to the house yet responsive to Long Island’s light and seasons.
