This 1970s house, perched on a hillside surrounded by scrubby Redcedars and accessed by a driveway that only went part of the way up the hill was gutted and transformed int a modern home with clean lines and new everything. Similarly, we transformed the landscape, more than doubling the useful, level portion of the garden. By carefully considering the proposed elements and existing site limitations, we achieved an almost net zero cut/fill balance and were able to preserve the healthiest and most aesthetically sound mature trees. A once severely eroded slope became a wildflower meadow, and previously unmanageable slopes became pathways and shrub borders.

Plans hand drawn from existing plats. Completed 2016.
