For this twelve-acre estate, the 1927 residence was preserved while LaGuardia Design Group reimagined the landscape as a series of outdoor galleries for the owners’ contemporary art collection. Full-scale mock-ups were used to finalize sculpture placement among mature trees and ensure each work stood on its own.

A notable exception to the one-sculpture-per-view approach is the visual link between a granite sphere by Walter De Maria and Corten steel boxes by Richard Serra. Grading and plantings define each area—the sunken pool garden conceals fencing from view, while a grove of ginkgo trees and a cedar pavilion with Japanese joinery frame the Noguchi Garden.

Plantings also serve a practical role. The De Maria sphere rests on a meadow that drains into rain gardens of native species, and Maya Lin’s Lay of the Land was precisely shaped—first as a full-scale soil model, then rebuilt to final form. Here, art and landscape are seamlessly intertwined.
