This renovated prairie style home is nestled among the oaks of Shorewood Hills. The prominent horizontal feel of the architecture influences a landscape composed of layers of outdoor spaces accentuated by the lines of natural stone retaining walls. A private and initimate master bedroom courtyard made with stucco walls extends the architecutural qualities into the landscape. Stormwater management and low impact landscaping are major concerns for the village and the clients, giving Formecology, LLC many opportunities to showcase sustainable landscape techniques, including a porous concrete driveway, rain gardens, recycled concrete retaining walls, a formal short grass and wildflower planting, and exclusive use of native plants and local stone.
