During an historic restoration and renovation of a private residence in the Village of Shorewood Hills, Wisconsin, our thorough site analysis uncovered extensive landscape components from the original 1930-1936 design by renowned landscape architect Franz Aust.
Aust was a prominent landscape architect in the Madison area from 1930-1957, Head of the Landscape Architecture Department at the UW Madison, and was closely associated with Frank Lloyd Wright, Jens Jensen, and Arthur Caldwell.

The clients' goal to improve their landscape in keeping with the Craftsman character of their home. Priorities included developing a more gracious and welcoming front stoop and patio, elegant low maintenance plantings, and better management of stormwater. ZDA paid special attention to the house's interior and exterior detailing and materials.
The Van Hise Storybook House was formerly owned by a UW Madison professor of botany who created a native woodland herbarium in the yard. The new owner approached ZDA with the task of updating the property to meet the young family's needs, while preserving the historic character of the house and landscape.
ZDA collaborated with the architect to site a large dwelling and private museum on a challenging property (6.5 acres) to optimize lake views and integrate the home into the landscape. ZDA's Master Plan addressed site circulation and incorporated auxiliary parking and equipment access for the museum without compromising the residential character of the estate.
This private residence on Lake Mendota brought the challenges of new construction on a very narrow lot. The client's goals included sustainable water management, the creation of outdoor entertainment and gathering areas, maximizing full views to the lake from the lower level of the house and patio, and creating rain gardens to provide beauty and to capture and infiltrate stormwater.
