Since landscaping is such an important part of green design, we decided early on (August 06) to enlist the help of a landscape architect with this project. Happily, Eric had collaborated with Michael Immel on the renovation of a "mid-century marvel" in Westwood, MA that had been published several times, including by The Boston Globe. Although the houses have some obvious difference (the Westwood house has a flat roof and curtain walls, for example), there are also some obvious similiarities. An added bonus: Michael grew up in CA where split-levels are far more common. He spoke their language.Michael came out to the house a few times in our first months there, and spoke to us about some of initial goals. He then produced this conceptual design sketch.
