The site plan for this Tuscan style house and gardens in Shady Canyon is designed to provide a welcoming sequence of spaces that gradually take you from the street 20' above to a naturalistic garden that is both visually and emotionally connected to the natural environment. A series of steps, walls and topography transition gradually downward to a series of spaces and experiences, sometimes peaceful, sometimes playful and always connected to the context of a Tuscan home in a natural California site character.
