It does the heart good.

For those of us who find great solace in things done well, here is a photo of a lovely little Key West 'Conch House'. The right materials and scale, very good workmanship and of course a beautiful Frangipani tree. I suspect the original owner, if he came back to life today, would find little different.

    Built in the teen's or twenty's but was restored about four years ago, including a new garden.

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”
