LOCAL ARCHITECT FEATURED IN NEW BOOK
DWY Landscape Architects is featured in a new "coffee table" book. "Tropical Gardens: Hidden Exotic Paradises," by Manuela Roth (Braun Publishing AG, 142 pages, $49.95), includes a coastal modern residential project by David W. Young, ASLA, in a four-page spread and the back cover.
The book includes tropical designs by renowned landscape architects from around the world, including projects in Thailand, Australia and the Bahamas.
"This volume presents ... thrillingly ingenious arrangements of plants and trees," states the German publisher. "These are interspersed by pavilions, statues, bridges and waterfalls that blend harmoniously with their enchanting surroundings."
