Meridian Park Residence
Indianapolis, Indiana
Located in a historic neighborhood filled with American Four-Square and Arts and Crafts architecture, this renovated home invites attention by showcasing a contemporary approach to traditional landscape design. The main entry welcomes visitors with the familiarity of the English garden aesthetic found throughout the neighborhood. Boxwood hedges delineate lawn from sidewalk as Hydrangea and Boston Ivy soften the brick porch along with native grasses and perennials. A flagstone path along the southeastern edge of the property invites guests through the garden gate and into a native meadow corridor that opens to reveal a contemporary composition of versatile outdoor living spaces. The clean lines and orthogonal geometries of the hardscape echo the architecture of the home’s interior while swaths of native ferns, forbs, and grasses flourish under a canopy of Allegheny Serviceberry and Venus™ Dogwood. Over 75% of the planting palette is comprised of native species providing habitat for pollinators and layers of color and texture throughout the seasons.
