Good job

They got it right. This greek revival house in Key West (more about greek revival in a later post) has it all. It buoys my senses to see owners making the extra effort to bring a piece of history to this level of renewal.

Beautiful proportion, classic white paint
 and perfect maintenance.

Although not seen often enough, good restorations
of these unique old homes are what make Key West so appealing.
The goal is to have them all done as well as this one.

About Me

I am a landscape designer based in Key West, Florida and Surry, Maine. I place much attention with the house, not as an adjunct to the garden but as an integral element. This symbiotic relationship will always produce the best and most natural environment. The best description for my views on the relationship between the garden and the house comes from the naturalist Charles Keeler, “landscape design with occasional rooms in case of rain”
