A Tiered Garden of a Historic Home in Yonkers, New York

Architect Gary Brewer, former partner at Robert Stern Architects, takes us through the four extraordinary garden tiers he designed and planted from scratch around his restored 1915 American Foursquare in the historic Park Hill neighborhood of Yonkers, New York.

From a front porch furnished with antique wicker overlooking a fountain terrace, to a private side seating garden, a back garden with stone walls, obelisks for trailing vines, a second fountain aligned with the living room windows, and seasonal planting designed to offer color from spring through fall — this is a garden conceived with the same precision and care Gary brings to every architectural project.
