carex: garden design by carolyn mullet

I design & build gardens and this blog is about all things landscape and garden that can influence garden making. My bias is toward the clean, straight forward, and spare but I can be seduced as much as anyone by the sensuality of nature. However, what I post will be about more than the pretty, precious, and nostalgic. We'll see how well I do. And "Carex"? It's a sedge frequently used in planting native gardens. I like it very much.

Regulations prohibited alterations to the front of this 19th century house, but the design did radically alter the interior and backyard.

Terrace for a house in Japan designed by architecture firm, Kengo Kuma & Associates. I suspect Mr. Kuma also designed the furniture. Love all the wood. Wish there were more plants.

Entertaining terrace designed by Maryland based McInturff Architects for a home in Northern Virginia. I love the T A L L fireplace and simple seating arrangement. Wonderful textures. I have to admit that I have a special interest in this since McInturff designed an addition for my home. Photo by Julie Heine.
