Edmund Hollander of Hollander Design in conversation with architect Tim Haynes.
On five acres in idyllic Bridgehampton, Ed Hollander created an elegant, crisply tailored retreat. The client said: “Do something wonderful for me” – and Hollander did. The landscape was created with geometry in mind and every element, from the clipped hedges of lavender to the Ilex, boxwood and hornbeam, and the Ramone Grey Jerusalem limestone paving, contributes to the finely crafted, sophisticated and carefully edited result. While the garden is designed to provide individual refuge, it also has a terrace that can easily accommodate 60 for lunch.
The second project, which is next door, is softer and more informal. The owners chose the seven-acre site because it has, as Hollander puts it, “A canvas of great trees.” Everything was done in deference to the copper beaches, lindens, maples, and others, many of which are a century old. One rhododendron measures 30 feet x 30 feet x 100 feet. The house, tennis court, pool, and pathways were all designed to be subordinate to the rich arboreal setting, which Hollander says provides the “essence” of the landscape.

Christopher LaGuardia and Daniel Thorp of LaGuardia Design Group in conversation with Leonard and Louise Riggio.
The exceptional residential estate of Leonard and Louise Riggio will wow contemporary art aficionados, horticulturalists, and garden-design enthusiasts. The Dialogue will feature LaGuardia Design Group founder Chris LaGuardia and firm principal Daniel Thorp in conversation with the Riggios as they tour the grounds, which feature outstanding works of sculpture by Richard Serra and many other artists, with recent additions including a new earthwork, Lay of the Land, by Maya Lin. The LaGuardia Design Group has meticulously integrated the various tableaux into which the sculptures are set into a unified environment linked by discreet pathways. More than two dozen types of trees are strategically placed throughout the grounds. An open-air pavilion designed by Richard Gluckman looks out onto an enclosure designed in collaboration with Edwina von Gal with gingko trees and a pond, around which are arrayed works by Isamu Noguchi. Plant materials of various height and density help delineate distinct spaces throughout the garden while also providing privacy.
3.0 LA CES™ professional development hours will be available to attendees.

A Private Residence
Bryan Sawyer of Sawyer | Berson
This newly constructed Colonial Revival home and acre of formal gardens are located within the historic Village of Southampton, New York. The close proximity to the ocean and surrounding historic neighborhood, inspired the site’s design and the traditional architecture of the home. Sawyer | Berson was given the task to design the landscape, architecture, and interiors of the home. The interdisciplinary nature of the project allowed the team to craft a sense of continuity between the landscape and the interior spaces of the house. The residence is situated within a series of formal gardens, courts and terraces. The landscape features crushed oyster shell paving throughout, a pool with a ‘wet’ coping, and a variety of formally arranged plantings tolerant to this coastal environment.
