About the Project:

The 14-acre Rambunctious Garden sits atop a Taghkanic ridge with views of rolling meadows, verdant tree farms, and the distant peaks of the Berkshires. Our master plan revitalizes the residential construction site, enriching biodiversity and knitting the property back into the landscape. The design is inspired as much by the tenets of ecological landscaping as it is by the needs of our clients—two accomplished actors seeking an inspiring respite. Enhanced panoramic views, tranquil outdoor rooms, meditative paths, locally sourced materials, and over 5,000 native plants create a thriving sanctuary where pollinators flourish and minds are set free.
