OVID, NY | This four-season weekend retreat is slipped into a glacial ravine on Seneca Lake in upstate New York. The house, a chain of pavilions, parallels a perennial stream that laces through a rich, forested glen. MVLA worked closely with Bohlin Cywinski Jackson to create outdoor rooms formed by the interplay of existing trees and building walls. The project began with a survey of existing plants that found remarkable diversity in the herbaceous groundcover, which MVLA responded to with comprehensive planting and meadow management plans. A Cornell University botanist consults with the design team on planting and on-going site work.

LITTLE COMPTON, RI | This family farm straddles a ridge-lined peninsula on the southern coast of Rhode Island. Bound by water and set within the Sakonnet landscape patternings of coastal field, forest, pond, and meadow, this property embodies a modest agrarian character while preserving critical habitat for endangered shorebirds, seaside plants, and wildlife. MVLA's design preserves an existing road and walls as a framework that organizes a series of building compounds into the matrix of windswept coastal fields. This project artfully integrates restrained architectural and landscape interventions with existing terrain, creating a lucid structure that illuminates the peninsula’s striking beauty.

PIMMIT RUN, VA | The Terkowitz Garden is organized around a thread of water that winds its way through this two-acre residential site. When the project began, a small tributary draining an upstream watershed had been buried beneath the property. MVLA brought the hidden creek to the surface, revealing a resource that enlivened the garden. The water weaves through a series of step pools and stone runnels, converting a gravel turnaround into a creekside fern glen of native and naturalized perennials and bulbs. Low-tech mechanical devices constructed of on-site materials control the flow of water under varied storm conditions.

WAPWALLOPEN, PA | Set within the geologic folds of northeastern Pennsylvania, this home augments the rural landscape with a series of restrained interventions that build upon a framework of existing dry-laid walls. A new pond replaces a saturated field while expanding views and drawing in reflected light, particularly in the cooler months when the sun is scarce. Water and plantings weave through creases of the woodlot terrain, improving the site’s drainage. MVLA connects interior architecture to the exterior through specific moments of materiality, such as when a floor of locally quarried bluestone continues seamlessly from a porch to a courtyard. With several details derived from the local craftsmen, this project brings fresh meaning to old traditions.
