When we were asked to return to design the front landscape for the 2023 Kips Bay Dallas Show House, we didn’t hesitate. Not only are the Kips Bay Show Houses in New York, Palm Beach, and Dallas the preeminent designer showcases in the industry, but they support great causes.

Delve into my journey to create a dream-worthy "Magari" Garden with elements inspired by Hollywood glamour and Italian elegance in the inaugural Kips Bay Dallas show house.

My mentor, Kevin, is what I would call a “big picture” guy; he has this gift of seeing things from 30,000 feet. One of the topics we’ve been talking about is how landscape architecture shapes communities, then cities, and the larger world, and how it influences the way we live and experience different places.
