In two very different projects, landscape architect Todd Richardson achieves an “inseparable knitting together of indoor and outdoor spaces,” as he puts it. At an ultrahip compound in Steuben, wild grasses grow flush with walking paths. Some plantings even jump to the roof. “You don’t see a lot of green roofs,” Todd says, “and [architect] Will Winkelman made sure this design engages with that element.” At a more traditional home in Falmouth, and using a more verdant palette, Todd’s design connects both a kitchen and a study to an outdoor dining terrace. “We worked hard to preserve the vine on the side of the house,” Todd says. “Those took 50 years to grow, so we valued them a lot.”
