STEDMAN RESIDENCE

A couple recently engaged Lashley + Associate to design a naturalized landscape for their home in South Ottawa. The result was a colourful, pollinator-friendly front yard / sideyard that will provide habitat/nesting for birds and small animals. The landscape features boulders, native trees/shrubs, grasses, perennials, and wildflowers. We look forward to seeing it’s ecological succession over the coming years!

The design created distinct areas on the site with naturalized and manicured areas to provide a variety of outdoor settings for the residents. The entrance courtyard includes a woodland planting of the traffic island with natural stonewalls creating a sense of privacy from the parking lots and street and a connection for the residents with nature.

KOLLER MCALLISTER GARDEN

Ottawa, ON

The re-design of an original 1950′s family home provided a contemporary palette for display of art and creation of a distinctive contemporary landscape.  The interplay of geometric curved shapes for the patio and gardens with a free form inlay of stone paving and riverstone create flow, in and through the garden.  The free form inlay depicted the stream that once ran through the site before the original 1950′s development.  Special detailing is found in the floating stone stairs leading from the patio to the rear garden, and the dining room “garden of eatin’”.  A striking architectural entrance to the home is enhanced by the strength of the geometric forms of the paving, furniture, shrub and feather reed grass pattern.

GRAHAM RESIDENCE

Ottawa, ON

The design of a waterfront beach and “Riverwall” with natural stone, mixed natural shapes with the architectural forms of the patio terrace and the house.  Access to the beach, BBQ and entertaining terraces with views over the Ottawa River highlight the rear gardens for this home.  A rose garden, shade garden, natural stonewalls, and expansive tree lined lawn areas, are a highlight of the front entrance court. A discrete curved screen wall and planting along the major arterial road ensure privacy for this exclusive home.
