Modern Landscaping on Hive Modular House - Rosenlof/Lucas Get it Right!
I get a lot of inspiration from Preston over at Jetson Green. His site is really great, and he's so good at finding neat stuff. Yesterday he had post where he's run across a great blog, Nashville Modern Prefab, and put up a YouTube video of a 3-D model of a new Hive Modular house being built for the blog's author, plus links to some other Hive Modular related videos. Great stuff.
I have to say, I really liked the video of the original Hive Modular B-Line House prototype in Minneapolis (below). It's done as a video invite to an open house featuring the B-Line as well as the cool modern landscaping done by Rosenlof/Lucas Landscape Design and Installation. I love the house, as I've posted before, but the landscaping was what really caught my eye.
I love the low-impact driveway and the gabion fence. Both those designs are now stored away in my mind for use on my family's future home. These guys are doing some cool stuff. You've got to take a look at the photos of their work on their site - 49 pics in their slide show - and click over to the rolu|dsng blog. You will love it. Not to be missed.
Landscaping is so critical. Your house has to harmonize with the site, and your landscaping has to respect the site as well as enhance the structure of the house. All the pieces need to fit together. A big lawn and a long, hard-surfaced driveway can be very high impact. The guys at rolu show how to put it all together, in modern style, with clever green designs. Just awesome.

Hey thanks for the kind words, greatly appreciated!
Hi John, Thanks so much for the flattering post. It's nice when someone tips the hat, so, same back at you. If you are interested, we just added a Flickr account to our blog (or http://www.flickr.com/photos/roludsgn/ ) and i've just posted some photos from another Hive B-Line there. The landscaping is much more subtle and gentle, but we also think it's very elegant and are excited about this first stage. We're also currently working on a couple other Hive projects so stay tuned.
Thanks again.
Cheers,
Matt Olson
