The Mondrian Inspired Landscape

An intimate courtyard adjacent to a subtle slope is showcased in this Mondrian inspired landscape. A grid of vertical and horizontal lines define the hardscape, while vibrant swaths of color paint the softscape. Hardy perennials provide color and texture throughout the year, while withstanding a harsh seaside climate.

The mottled bark and flowers of a Stewartia tree serves as the focal point when approaching the home. A mix of evergreen Rhododendrons and multi-stem river birches provide screening, and serve as the backdrop for blueberry, huckleberry, ferns, and grasses that retain the slope and enclose the courtyard space.
