Buchanan is an urban residence and garden in Northeast Minneapolis.
Site walls and planters were built using reclaimed steel panels from a Downtown Minneapolis demolition. Most of the perennials were grown from seed in the basement of the house during the winter months.
A 4’ picket fence and green steel gate sits at the front of the house. A wide planked cedar fence and timber benches border the backyard enclosing the sauna area.
The front yard is seeded with a low-grow fescue and an offset line of Paper Birch. The backyard is home to a mature apple tree with seeded meadow below.
Perennial gardens, seeded prairies, and cedar site elements work together to create an immersive garden experience.
A 7’x8’ sauna was designed and built on site. The sauna has a skylight and a wood burning stove.
