Each year, the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) awards professional awards to the year's best residential landscape designs. We have all eight winners from this year's competition, with entries ranging from a renovation of Philip Johnson's Beck House in Dallas (shown above) to a cascade of terraces for a New York City apartment.
With its annual professional awards, the American Society of Landscape Architects puts a bright and prestigious spotlight on groundbreaking garden design. The winners here demonstrate how great designers can bring beauty and sustainability—as well as serenity and functionality—to sites large and small, urban and wild, damaged or pristine.—Bill Marken
