THE ARCHITECTURE OF SPACE
Established in 1988, Spatial Arts is a boutique landscape design firm specializing in the development of high-end residential properties. Spatial Arts offers a traditional and comprehensive approach to design development.
Each project begins with a thorough site analysis of the existing conditions, noting all unique characteristics inherent to the site. With clearly defined objectives, program elements, timing and budgetary parameters, Spatial Arts is free to express a series of preliminary design drawings for review. These “schematics” are refined to achieve the most appropriate resolve to meet the client’s needs and the best fit for the site.
Working directly with homeowners, architects, contractors, and interior designers, we will schedule, supervise, and document all phases of the development in a professional and timely manner. We take pride knowing that our collaborative efforts will extend the livability of your architecture. Spatial Arts has been applying these core principles of the profession here in the Hamptons for over 30 years.
Our focus is design. Our goal is to enhance and qualify space as singular, transitional, or sequential: House - Garden - Nature
Let us secure your dialogue with nature and add immeasurable value to your home.
SPATIAL:
adj. - of, relating to, involving, or having the nature of space.
ARTS:
n. - To imitate, alter, or counteract the work of nature in a manner that affects the sense of beauty.
We raise landscape design solutions to the level of fine art.
Glenn Lawton BLA. ASLA.
I graduated with distinction from the College of Environmental Science and Forestry at Syracuse University in 1985 with a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture and a minor in Fine Arts. My aesthetic is cultured and vibrant. I am a deep thinker, a quiet visionary who loves to conceptualize.
During my nine years of apprenticeship, I designed with several reputable firms in Vermont, Virginia, and here on the east end of Long Island. My application of the natural sciences and engineering is balanced by my artistic aptitude. The convergence of the arts and sciences is the essence of Landscape Architecture and the root of my calling. Well-traveled, well-versed, and focused, I bring a sophisticated simplicity to the complexity of the design process.
Landscape Architecture:
The application of various arts and sciences to ensure the health, safety, utility, and the beautification of the built environment for human use and enjoyment.
My formal education came full-circle with the opportunity to conduct an independent study abroad in Kyoto, Japan:
Proportional Harmonies: The principles of composition
Zen - aesthetic imagery: A quantitative methodology for measuring aesthetic
The body of these dissertations enabled me to fuse Eastern and Western philosophies as applied to the concept of “The Garden” and “The Architecture of Space”. Whether large or small, public or private, symmetrical or asymmetrical, despite culture or climate, Spatial Arts will apply a baseline ordering system to our projects to ensure balance and order. In the absence of order you are left with mere ornamentation and folly. We raise landscape design solutions to the level of fine art.
This is what sets us apart.
