Stinson Beach Residence

by Pedersen Associates

This Sandy Walker designed home on two lots in Stinson Beach's Seadrift community echoes the formality and grace of the architecture. An Alaskan cedar bridge spans the formal front yard sculpture garden where drifts of grasses, sage and formal parterres disguise the residence's septic system. Formal plantings in the pool area reflect the crisp, modulated building forms. Soft, sineuous shapes define the beach garden's bed lines, with an underpinning of structure: grids of tufting grasses and ground covers. This garden received an ASLA Merit Award.
