This 1970s home on Riverside Drive was open to the street with no fenced area for the children. The view from the living room now looks out onto a courtyard garden with views through to the forest on the other side of the road. The tricycle circuit, inspired by Thomas Church’s California gardens doubles as a mowing strip and was dubbed “the egg” by the family. The corners of the new garden are anchored by a Japanese Maple and a Star Magnolia.
