East Hampton, New York
LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton, Suffolk County exemplifies landscape design and living with art in all forms. Founded by Jack Lenor Larsen, its collections, gardens, sculpture and programs reflect world cultures and inspire a creative life. Emil Kreye & Son was asked to create a low “canyon” with rock ledges on either side of the path. Kreye canyon was created to transform a flat under-used section of the Longhouse garden into an intimate woodland experience.
Emil Kreye & Son first evaluated the existing site, pathways, trees, shrubs and root zones. Their goal was to enhance the visitor’s experience by adding texture, depth and interest to the otherwise flat path. At the same time, it was important that they preserve the established trees at the site.
