JMMDS created a woodland garden for a contemporary house on a pond in a Boston suburb that blurs the line between traditional and modern, natural and built spaces. At the front of the house, three evenly spaced fastigiate ginkgo trees (Ginkgo biloba Fastigiata) act as an openwork aerial hedge that mediates between the tall façade of the house, the front terraces and gardens, and the parking area. New ledge-like stones are placed to bring the feel of the existing ledges into a new front garden bed. Photo: Bill Sumner.

Located on an oddly shaped wooded lot in West Vancouver, this house is approached by a meandering drive that traverses a seasonal creek. A heavily treed hillside defines the northern property boundary, while east-to-west the forest thins down a slope toward a railway line. To the east there is also a neighbouring house that is visible. The design for this house generates its own territory within an L-shaped courtyard plan. The public side of the house — an enigmatic stucco shell that faces the street — shields an articulated inner courtyard that is lined with wooden slats. This space is configured to accommodate outdoor entertaining and family activities. Expansive frontal views are primarily from the courtyard while potential views beyond the site have been carefully framed to provide privacy yet present specific views out over the site. For example an elongated window located at counter level in the kitchen offers a particular view of hillside planting and the rocks that are embedded against the house. The potential sprawl and warren-like nature of a large single-family house is addressed by connecting the modulated interior spaces, while a large double height volume cuts a swath through the house.

The project includes renovations and the construction of an addition to an architect's house built in the 1980s. The conceptual idea is to bring the house closer to the outdoor space in front of the forest at the back of the house. Mont Saint-Bruno, creating an addition receiving a lot of natural light and whose space offers a sense of the extension of the interior space in the garden. To this end, the living room and master bedroom, which occupy the space of the addition, benefit from a large amount of windows facing South and West, and large sliding doors in the living room give access to a outdoor terrace that joins the garden level. The large horizontal movement of the roof protects the fenestration and the terrace of the masters from the direct exposure to the sun during the summer.

November 2001 Seattle Times/AIA Home of the Month and the AIA/Seattle Times 2001 Home of the Year. Landscaped circular courtyards screened with stone gabion walls link four simple pavilions and provide private green space. Three pavilions housing living, dining, kitchen, bedrooms and garages are linked; a fourth pavilion provides flexible space for a home office, workshop, playroom, or a "mother-in-law".
