  • From AD100 landscape architect Edmund Hollander, a collection of spectacular projects celebrating the way we live outdoors, from pastoral retreats to seaside escapes to rooftop refuges.


In this book, Hollander explores the idea of home as the natural surroundings that people live in: a place of living, changing beauty, refuge, and above all, joy, where family and friends gather to create a lifetime of memories.

The book presents homes in the countryside, along the coast, and in town—and features a rich diversity of projects, from country estates to rooftop gardens. Throughout, Hollander discusses essential elements in his firm’s work: the importance of the procession of entry to a house, as well as its context in the landscape; the positioning of plant life and trees; the way people move into and through a property; and the way a garden looks and changes through the seasons. Within each project there are a striking variety of components—outdoor rooms for living and lounging, including oceanside hearths, infinity pools, and verdant dining spaces, as well as pollinator gardens, naturalistic meadows, and tranquil allées. Site maps illuminate each site, and the images capture moments large and small, from views of winding pathways to a vine-covered arbor and a rabbit enjoying flowers at dawn.
"Landscape architect Ed Hollander shares over 20 design projects in the new The Landscape of Home. Readers can get a glimpse of Hollander’s work in the country, by the sea, and on city rooftops, along with his thoughtful approach to designing landscapes." — ELLE DECOR

"A botanical renaissance is underway: Homeowners and landscape architects alike are conducting research into indigenous plants and growing strategies in order to work with, not against, the earth. If you want to know more, look no further than AD PRO Directory member Edmund Hollander, who details a few of his recent international gardening projects in this monograph. All are committed to sustainable landscaping ideology, no matter the location." — ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST PRO

"In his newest book, landscape architect Edmund Hollander presents gardens as vital living spaces that extend the sanctuary of our homes outdoors. Featuring countryside retreats, coastal havens, and city oases, Hollander illustrates a variety of garden styles, each demonstrating the outdoors as a place for refuge and inspiration." — VERANDA

"Eighteen stunning commissions focus on healthy landscapes, earth-friendly planting strategies, and the native or vernacular." — TRADITIONAL HOME

"Our chat came ahead of the release of Ed’s new book, The Landscape of Home, published by Rizzoli and available to pre-order from Amazon. The book showcases a selection of Hollander Design’s most impressive projects from the past decade. We talked at length about how to extend the concept of home from a house to a backyard, and what it means to work in harmony with the land." — HOMES & GARDENS
