Is the wood siding torrefied wood or cedar?? what kind of upkeep is required ?? How about in Canada »
· Comment · 3 months ago
Margie Grace - Grace Design Associates The wood is ipe. The metal siding is CorTen steel. You'd have to research how these materials do in your area. Ipe weathers out silver. A penetrating sealer is used annually to preserve this color.

EXACTLY WHAT KIND OF GRASSES ARE THE WHITE? »
· Comment · 13 months ago
Margie Grace - Grace Design Associates The grass that looks like Tina Turner's hair is Mexican Feather Grass - Stipa tenuissima. Careful - it's invasive. It spreads by seed in the wind. Don't use it at the edge of wildland!

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Consider the bulk and lines of the house when deciding on how busy or restful the garden should be. Bold contemporary architecture makes a bolder impression when it's not competing with a fussy landscape. Let low-lying plants create a spacious foreground, then apply restraint by embellishing the garden with a few well-chosen accent plants.
