Luger wrote: "An architect's choice of style should be determined by two factors, the general form of the landscape, and the scenery immediately surrounding the site." His designs ensured that the arrangement of rooms did not invade the privacy indispensable to a country residence and then accommodated subordinate offices, the kitchen garden, the stables, the approaches, and the plantations conveniently.
