In a residential neighborhood of Minneapolis, the lush emerald foliage of a renovated landscape starkly contrasts with the gray-scale orthogonal lines of the Mount Curve residence—an understated Midcentury Modern structure featured as a Record House in 1964 (see below).
The overhaul of the 1.5-acre site was undertaken by Minneapolis-based landscape architecture and urbanism firm Coen+Partners following a 2017 competition to re-envision the house (MSR Design renovated the house) and its surroundings, for a client who is an art collector and author.

By reconfiguring exterior courtyards, the team also endeavored to ensure safe, level surfaces for aging in place and future accessibility concerns.
