Kipnis Architecture + Planning The wood shown in the facade appears to be Ipe. Ipe is a Brazilian Hardwood that is actually 10x harder than Redwood. Ipe can be found in farmed raised regenerative forests. It is maintenance free and without any chemical additives. The natural properties of Ipe help resist termites, mold and wood rot. A properly design wall with a vapor barrier, stainless steel screws and other details would help this system stay intact.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by John Hill to Regional Modern: Northern California Architecture
This house in Menlo Park, near San Francisco, is another example of relating the design to the landscape, this time by embracing it. A mature tree in the front of the house was not only preserved, but was made the focus of the U-shape plan.
added by Sheila Schmitz to Magical Garden Paths
Staggered rectangles show the way to a modern entrance.
added by Debra Prinzing to Teach Your Landscape Rhythm
Repeating bands appear in this entry garden in a slightly different way. The long, horizontal pathway gains a rhythmic vibe because each piece staggers to the left or right of center. Visually, this is exciting to view and to traverse. Ground covers planted between each band help to soften the otherwise stark installation.
added by Marianne Lipanovich to Lay of the Landscape: Modern Garden Style
The elements of a typical Southwestern garden could be custom made for a contemporary landscape. The plantings are sparse, typical of an area where rainfall is scarce. The hardscaping materials mimic the colors of the house, allowing the landscaping to feel like it is an extension of the home rather than a separate space. The single tree, with its sculptural form, is the only statement piece needed for this entry.
