- Scope
- Landscape designHardscape & water featuresLighting design
A complete landscape transformation for a hillside home: reflecting pools, native coastal planting, fire terraces, and a lighting plan that makes the garden glow after dark.
The brief
Turn a steep, unused slope into the best room of the house.
Our approach
Terraced stone walls follow the land’s contour lines, each holding a different garden: citrus, grasses, and a still pool that mirrors the sky.
The result
A garden designed to be lived in from sunrise coffee to late-evening fire.
