The partners of Hollander Design explore the idea of home as the natural surroundings that people live in; a place of living, changing beauty, and joy, where family and friends gather to create a lifetime of memories. Based on the new book, The Landscape of Home, the discussion will focus on the firm’s work, process, and how they create a rich diversity of landscapes for homes, from country estates to rooftop gardens. They will discuss essential elements in the firm’s work; the importance of the procession of entry to a house, as well as its context in the landscape; the positioning of plant life and trees; the way people move into and through a property; and the way a garden looks and changes through the seasons.
Within each project are a striking variety of components — outdoor rooms for living and lounging, including ocean-side hearths, infinity pools, and verdant dining spaces, as well as pollinator gardens, naturalistic meadows, and tranquil allées. The talk features exceptional photography that captures moments large and small, from views of winding pathways to a vine-covered arbor and butterfly gardens at dawn.
