Watermill Residence, NY, USA

This home is located in Water Mill, New York, overlooking Mill Pond. The gardens are conceived as a retreat: lush, established, and quietly embedded within their surroundings.

A layered framework of paths, Blackgum trees, and understory planting mediates between house and woodland, unfolding gradually as a sequence of garden rooms. Balancing structure with looseness, the landscape reads as a cultivated wild, softening the boundary between designed space and the surrounding ecosystem.
