Located in the Old Northside in downtown Indianapolis, this significant historic, Georgian style home currently serves as the headquarters for Indiana Humanities. It’s named for the Meredith Nicholson, a famous American author and diplomat who wrote the novel, House of a Thousand Candles along with several other well-known books.

This project included the preparation of a landscape design and subsequent construction documentation to replace and augment existing plantings. The simple design incorporates a combination of native perennials, ornamental grasses and other low maintenance plant materials inspired by the formal style indicative of Georgian garden design.  Care was taken to maintain a clear view of the home and highlight the illustrious detailing.  New perimeter plantings delineate an outdoor event space in the rear yard.
