Turner Garden
“Compression” isn’t a term often used to describe landscape spaces, but at the Turner Garden outside Rochester, New York, Fletcher Steele made an elliptical pool into an intensely compressed space. The small pool opens to a terrace at one end and a vista at the other (with a narrow rill — again! — leading towards an existing stream), but the long sides of the ellipse are bound tight by sheared pear hedges.
