Project Gallery

The existing landscape was overgrown, conventionally suburban, and cut off views to the surrounding natural setting. The new design opens up these views and establishes a fluid entry sequence from the entry drive to the autocourt to the front door.

The garden at the rear of the house features a dramatic overlook and plantings of drought tolerant native grasses and succulents that stitch together the property and the landscape beyond.
