Koster Residence

Madison, Wisconsin

The owners of this tudor house wanted an outdoor space where they could relax and enjoy the beautiful view across Yahara Place Park to Lake Monona. Plandesign worked with them to understand how they would use the space and how the space might relate to the home’s architectural style and materials. The final design buids upon the geometry of the existing front walkway and extends a graceful new curve across the space to define both the terrace and its surrounding planting beds.

Plandesign worked closely with the stone contractor during initial conversations with the owners to establish the preliminary design direction the project would take. Through a series of initial rough plan sketches and quick 3-dimension studies, Plandesign and the owners refined the concepts and developed a final plan for the terrace. Plandesign also provided general guidance on planting and lighting design.
