This alluring rural estate is situated in the hills of the small coastal town Harmony, California. Designed to be entirely drought tolerant, the palette of natives and mediterranean plants blend themselves with the natural landscape; enhancing the sweeping views towards the ocean and emulating the transitioning seasonal colors. Grasses that surround the home help blend the architecture back into the hills that surround it while providing a kinetic quality in the wind.

Meandering stabilized dg pathways stretch throughout the site providing a meditative feel when exploring the property. A gravel courtyard with concrete pavers, scattered island plantings, a natural stone water feature, and an at-grade gravel fire pit give a contemporary twist on the surrounding natural landscape. Acting as a fun design feature, recessed ground lighting softly illuminate the concrete paver pathways throughout the site.
