The conversion of the historic Woodholme estate into a detached home, residential community, involved the careful restoration of the estate home and grounds, centrally located within the site. The original design for the grounds was completed by Thomas Sears, a Philadelphia-based landscape architect in 1921. STUDIO39 was asked to assess the current state of the site, and establish which improvements were necessary to restore the grounds to their historical form. Additionally, these original spaces needed to be adaptively redesigned to serve as community gathering and educational gardens for the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed plan includes complete restoration of the perennial garden including botanical labeling of the original species, a butterfly garden, restored pool, and community gathering area with period site furnishing and lighting.
