Located in the National Landmark District of Bryn Athyn PA, this property
stands as an example of beautiful, ecologically-responsive design. Granite
swales, rain gardens, porous paving, and a charming boulder water feature
work together to mitigate stormwater runoff. Large terraces, nestled in the
sloping site, capture stunning views of the Bryn Athyn Cathedral and

 
surrounding landscape. The paving and monolithic steps
are integrated with more naturalistic boulders, dry-laid walls, and
plantings to create a rustic atmosphere. The plant palette was carefully
selected for four-season interest, habitat enhancement, and stormwater
management. Drifts of native shrubs, grasses, and perennials encompass the
house in a variety of colors and textures for residents and wildlife to
enjoy.
