Description
For Campion Hruby “landscape is a collaboration of nature, culture, and self-expression. At its finest, a garden is a manifestation of art that can be both lived in and enjoyed, while providing the necessities of modern living.” At two Washington, D.C.-area homes, Campion Hruby demonstrates both the breadth and dexterity of their artistry and how effectively they collaborate with their clients.
ACCOTINK CREEK - Fairfax, VA 22031 - 12:30-2:00 PM
The landscape architecture and architecture design team transformed a collection of properties in Northern Virginia in to a pastoral Cotswold-inspired eight-acre estate. The residence is comprised of five stone cottages – a central structure connected by steel frame glass hallways to four buildings that radiate from the central one. The configuration of the cottages allowed for the creation of four courtyard gardens that lead out to the vast surrounding wooded site. Each courtyard garden is distinct in its design. The entry garden is organized into parterres of boxwoods and annual displays. The west gardens are created from a series of spaces that step down from the house and culminate in a long English border. The east gardens begin with an intimate kitchen garden, which leads down to a quiet garden with a reflecting pool. Natural woodland gardens flank the site, with connecting trails and service paths. The gardens are all interwoven and integrated with vast stands of mature azaleas, planted by the previous owner. Behind the house is a glass-tiled swimming pool that also acts as a mirror that reflects the sky above and the adjacent woodland. The landscape architecture is by Bob Hruby and Kevin Gaughan, and the architecture and design team included Scott Anderson of Anderson Studio and Susan Stine of RedTeam Strategies.
