24 LANDSCAPE GARDEN SERIES 



A plan for a country place in which the location of 

 the buildings has been determined by contour, tree growth, 

 view out over the open country, and utility. The tree 

 growth in this case was the real feature of the property, 

 so that the house location was determined by this and its 

 orientation by the direction of the view and prevailing breeze 

 from the southwest. The garage and gardener's lodge are 

 placed so as to control the entrance to the house and the 

 farm group. The locations of the farm group and gardens 

 were determined by the soil conditions, lack of tree growth 

 and contour. The whole plan has been so related by roads, 

 views, tree growth and architecture to make a working and 

 attractive open country place with the natural landscape 

 kept as a real feature.
