This project is located in a rather special location. It hovers above the prestigious historical Malaga Cove. Rural parklands border the property, home to roaming peacocks in the area and mature collection of tree specimens.

Nearby Summer concerts fill the air and our Clients enjoy hosting weekly soirees for their friends who enjoy even cleaner amplified sound from the concert than if at the concert venue itself. We gently corrected some existing terraces and contoured other areas to maximize both intimate and gathering spaces on the site.

PV stone boulders were amassed by our Client over many years in anticipation of someday utilizing these as shown here as seat walls and natural sculptures, each that were meticulously crafted and set in place like puzzle pieces.

We explored vast options, some with architectural water elements, some with ponds and streams, some options that even included for a guesthouse. We, Ecocentrix and our Clients, spent considerable time sitting on site and allowing the site to inform what would eventually become the final design manifested.

Ribbons of highly contracting vegetative colors and forms make this a unique botanical experience that pulls out the rich colors from the stone, accents long lines across the site, establishes key views to the ocean, and creates a sense of discovery.
