This particular contemporary landscape design also has a sense of movement attached to it.
The shape of the granite pads and the contours of the graveled area further complimented the spirals and turns in the outdoor metal sculpture, and balanced the entire contemporary landscape design with proportional geometric forms of lines, angles, and curves. We laid down gravel as ground cover, then placed large, circular pads arranged like giant stepping stones that led up to a stone patio filled with chairs. We wanted to create a sense of contemplation in this area, so we departed from the linear and angular designs of the surrounding landscape and established a theme of circular geometry. To add a touch of tranquility and quite repose to the stark right angles of the home and surrounding contemporary landscape, we designed a special seating area toward the northwest corner of the property. This was especially enjoyable at night, when the entire home was brightly lit from within. We created this walkway to follow the perimeter of the home so that visitors could walk around the entire property and admire the outdoor sculptures and the collections of modern art visible through the windows. The first was a linear walkway we build from concrete pads purchased through a retail vendor as a cost-saving benefit to our client. We then added two stonework designs to the landscape surrounding the contemporary art collection and home.
This helped unite the diverse elements of sculpture, contemporary architecture, and landscape design into a more fluid harmony that preserved the proportions of each unique element, but eliminated any tendency for the elements to clash with one another. This vegetation is very resilient and hardy, and requires little trimming, weeding, or mulching. Landscape designers planted horsetail reed under windows, along the sides of the home, and around the corners. We began by planting a garden around the large contemporary sculpture near the window. This was actually a good beginning point with us, because it allowed us to develop a contemporary landscape design that featured a very linear, crisp look supportive of the home and its contents. When she initially contacted us, the surrounding property had only a few trees and indigenous grass as vegetation. Near one of the large rear windows, there was an abstract metal sculpture designed in the form of a spiral.
MODERN LANDSCAPE DESIGN WINDOWS
The windows in both wings were larger than usual, so that visitors could see her art collection from the home’s exterior. The west wing of the house was only one story, while the east wing was two-story. Her house was built with a minimalist approach to decoration, emphasizing right angles and windows instead of architectural keynotes. She wanted her property to compliment her eclectic taste in architecture, outdoor sculpture, and modern art. This makes modern landscaping, on some level, more concerned with aesthetics that other styles.A local Houston art collector hired us to create a low maintenance, sophisticated, contemporary landscape design. Though to gardeners it may seem like blasphemy, many garden spaces these days are seen as places to visit for a short time, or view on the way to something else, as opposed to a place one "lives" or actually creates and maintains. Modern landscaping doesn't lend itself to the idea of "gardening" as quickly as more traditional modes of landscaping. Part of the reason function is so important is that modern landscaping seeks to redefine how we use outdoor spaces. Design and materials comprise the look of modern landscaping and define its impact in space and its significance alongside older landscaping styles. Modern landscaping is dependent on three major components: design, materials, and function. Tracee Conibear / Flickr / CC BY 2.0 Principles and Elements of Modern Landscaping
MODERN LANDSCAPE DESIGN PLUS
This patio combines many modern design features, including low maintenance plantings, loose stone, geometric lines, and functional elements (the low wall is also a seating area), plus a striking water feature and lighting for evening socializing
