James Rose Center for Landscape Architecture + Design

The house is unassumingly settled in a normal suburban neighborhood in Ridgewood, NJ - and the moment you walk inside you are transported. It’s small, but feels endless the more you explore. Although the home is one story including living quarters and a full kitchen, you can access the roof deck which is completely open air and feels almost unfinished - although it’s perfectly incomplete. James Rose was one of the leaders of the modern movement in American landscape architecture. Many of his original photos and sketches still remain in the home.
