Summer is here and it’s time to start thinking about the great outdoors and how it relates to the built environment, specifically around our homes.

Site Planning with Nature and Neighbors in Mind, the third Talk in a series about timelessness for all things residential, will explore the basics of residential site planning from an architect’s perspective.

We’ll also look at three properties in and around Naperville’s Historic District to see how their landscapes were shaped through words, drawings and photographs from the people who designed them. You’ll see how native plants and historically-based hardscapes played a pivotal role in giving those green spaces a sense of timelessness and natural connection to the houses from day one.

R.S.V.P./Get tickets. (Members, check your email for your free ticket promotional code to apply at check out.)

Walk the Talk #3

Join Tom on Saturday, June 21st, at 10AM on a walks past two properties, with a special final stop where we’ll hear a few words from the homeowners and landscape designer while strolling through the recently finished garden. We’ll also have a rare opportunity to walk through part of the house (including an unforgettable kitchen) to see how blurring the lines between interior and exterior spaces truly comes to life.

No separate tickets/R.S.V.P. for the walk will be necessary, but the details will only be announced to those attending Thursday's event or special inquiry.
