Set to transform a prominent site along Kansas City's celebrated Ward Parkway, this property, once owned by H&R Block founder Richard Bloch, will now host a residence designed with movement in mind. From the experience of driving past on the Parkway to arriving on foot through the Entry Court, the landscape, in tandem with the home, guides visitors through a sequence of unfolding spaces, revealing intimate garden moments for residents and guests.

Facing Ward Parkway, a refined yet distinctive composition integrates indigenous limestone, native grasses, and trees. This restrained but confident landscape creates a contemporary presence while forging a lasting connection to the local environment.
