Ornamental San Diego Grasses


Nothing evokes the spirit of the ocean more than unobstructed cliff side views of the Pacific and nautical décor. This custom home was built to entertain guests who can’t help but enjoy the pleasures of sunny days and the warmth and light of the unique fire wall into the night.


A steep hillside is turned into a lush landscape using salvias, ornamental grasses, pomegranates and other easy care plants.

A custom bed and bench are the focal points of the cool and calm bedroom. The silver tree side table is by Phillips Collection, and the crystal block lamps are from Visual Comfort (both available at White Birch Studio).


An antique stone trough was used as a water feature to focus the foreground. In the background the shapes of the garden echo the lines of the hills above.

In-Site is pleased to announce that one of our residential projects in Del Mar, California was chosen as "Home of the Year" by San Diego Home/ Garden Lifestyles magazine and was published in their February 2012 issue. "I like the way this house sits in its context, packing in a lot of livability without overpowering its neighbors," says Homes of the Year judge Ted Smith. "There's a beautiful continuous flow of spaces. Nothing is overdone."
Repeated shapes, patterns and materials bring continuity. Rounded pebbles lend interest to the curved exterior walk and are brought to the interior, in a smaller version, on the shower floor.
Sustainable Landscape
The site features primarily low-water use/ low maintenance plantings, drip irrigation, and a weather-based irrigation control system. Artificial turf was used as a "green" roof over the subterranean garage. The turf serves as a recreational amenity for the family while adhering to the tight height restrictions on that part of the site.
