A contemporary Southern California guest house that harmoniously integrates lush plantings with a minimalist orchard, featuring a prefabricated design clad in Star Jasmine to seamlessly blend into its tranquil surroundings.
Embracing the essence of contemporary aesthetics, this Southern California guest house features a dialogue between the verdant textures of mass plantings and a minimalist approach to a productive orchard. Star Jasmine clads this prefabricated modular home. Using green walls in this way helps blend a more affordable dwelling into the site’s quiet context.
Location: Southern California

Textural mass plantings give structure to the outdoor spaces and envelop the viewer as they travel through the expanding and contracting outdoor rooms. Beds of drought tolerant plants add softness to the site and serve as absorbent rain gardens during storms.
A productive orchard and curated vegetable beds also update conventional ideas of formality in a residential setting creating a forward thinking paradigm for more urban dwellings. A decomposed granite Pétanque terrain located at the heart of the orchard adds a multi-use element to the surrounding productive grove.
