How were the principles of minimalism followed in this contemporary landscape design?Vegetation was planted in very sparing amounts. In contemporary yards, you do not want an abundance of vegetation. Not only does is contemporary style minimalist, but it is also somewhat constraining. The organic vitality of plant life appears strictly controlled and subservient to human architecture.
As you will notice in the pictures, there is only a single tree in the front, which is a very small birch tree. The shrubs that were planted in the front and in the back are rather slow growing, low-maintenance plants. They require less pruning than faster growing shrubs, so they stay close to the ground and retain their shapes for a long period of time.
