The grounds of this single-family residence were treated with the same care and attention to design and detail as the home in this complete remodel and restoration of a midcentury modern home and yard. The resulting landscape is a seamless integration of a low-maintenance, xeriscape front yard with modern appeal and a lush space for entertaining in the back, whose horticultural palette draws inspiration from an iconic time period while remaining drought-tolerant and aligned with Santa Barbara style. The high-desert plant palette provides an example an extremely low-maintenance and low-water-use garden without sacrificing aesthetics. We were delighted to win the 2021 CLCA Design Awards Design Build, Xeriscape, and Overall Residential categories for this project.
