This project was designed to complement the bold geometry and layered façade of a modern residence. The landscape plays with levels and symmetry, using limestone pavers and planters to guide the eye from street to entry. Every feature was chosen for cohesion—warm stone contrasts against crisp stucco and verdant greenery to create a grounded but elevated experience.
The client desired a modern and structured exterior that would mirror the interior architecture and offer effortless outdoor living. Functionality and sophistication were key—from the symmetry of the entry sequence to the seamless transitions between social zones. Each space was planned to enhance curb appeal, allow for relaxation, and offer low-maintenance beauty year-round.
