Hilltop Hideaway

This project was a residential landscape in Napa County. We wanted to use native and drought tolerant planting, while also incorporating different textures and colors to create visual interest. We designed a purple focal wall that protects that also functions as a sound barrier, and adds privacy. The landscape was designed for outdoor living, so we wanted the space to be an extension of the interior living space.
