Making the site part of the bigger landscape again by planting a coherent selection of trees all around the newly built. A selection that connects to the identity of the surrounding landscape. Without blocking important views and the sun.

Blocking the view on the back terrace by planting tall evergreen conifers in a clever composition.

Simplicity in a composition of lines define the front yard. Long lines create a calm and spacious visual experience and make the

sub-spaces look bigger

Emphasizing the elevation in the landscape by creating a long slim retaining wall with a sequence of overhanging balconies and the swimming pool positioned as a free-standing unit. And at the same time, the existing elements, like the rock surface and big

cedar trees, are framed, capturing the identity of the underlying landscape. Simplicity in a composition of lines defines the front yard.

Long lines create a calm and spacious visual experience and make the sub-spaces look bigger.
