HIGHLIGHTS
NATURAL FORMS
Rectilinear, formal edges delineate the gathering areas from the more natural stone edges designed to blend the paths into the surrounding landscape.
|
SHADE PLANTINGS
Small plantings in and around the patio breaks up the continuity of the hardscape and gives seasonal interest year-round.
|
BLENDED STONE
A blend of local sandstones compliments the finish of the house while giving the property a firm sense of place.
|
BORROWED VIEWS
The patio seating allows for a view beyond the built environment, highlighting the mountains just beyond. The native and near-native plantings near the patio blend in to the natural landscape that lies beyond.
|
AESTHETIC DRAINAGE
Instead of being invisible below-ground, functional drainage disguised as a dry creek bed both helps the drainage channel blend into the natural landscape but also serves as a small moat in case of another flood event.
