Anri Rapelje is a landscape architect that we have worked with on a number of projects including the Magnolia Eco Cottage.  Landscape design is an important part of any small house design.  In this case, the cottage is located on a particularly difficult steep slope site with stringent environmental requirements.  Despite the constraints, Anri was able to create a beautiful, functional and affordable design.  The plantings should be going in late this fall and we will be updating or blog with photos as they become established.
