Moss Garden: A Living Carpet of Tranquility A moss garden is a serene, low-maintenance landscape feature that evokes a profound sense of calm and natural beauty. Composed of vibrant, velvety mosses that thrive in shaded, humid environments, these gardens offer a soft, carpet-like groundcover that replaces traditional lawns or gravel with rich, green texture. At Westland Design, our moss gardens are thoughtfully integrated into the overall landscape to enhance a feeling of timelessness and stillness. Whether nestled beneath the canopy of trees, edging a stone pathway, or surrounding a tranquil water feature, moss brings subtle movement and color to quiet corners of the garden. Key qualities of a moss garden include: Evergreen softness: Moss provides lush, year-round greenery that requires no mowing or fertilizing. Quiet beauty: It absorbs sound, contributing to a peaceful, contemplative environment. Natural elegance: Ideal for Japanese-style gardens or woodland settings, moss complements stone, water, and wood elements with organic harmony. A moss garden is more than a design choice—it’s an invitation to slow down, observe closely, and appreciate nature’s quiet elegance.

Part of a multi-phase remodeling project, Pomona is a new addition that creates a spa-like master bathroom for its fully work-from-home owners, and incorporates a new laundry room, separate toilet room, and direct access to the outdoors. In reconfiguring the original master bedroom, the old bathroom was transformed into a second closet. The clients had a very clear vision and were very involved in the choice of materials, which informed the design of the spaces. The floor and wall tile was chosen in advance of the project. A clean, crisp, light aesthetic guided the design. Solid oak drawer fronts on the custom floating vanity were carved in lieu of applied pulls. Wherever possible, lines where materials meet are flush and seamless. The floating bench in the shower is made of the same stone as the countertop. The shower is separated by a single pane of glass from the vanity area and the floor slopes barrier-free from the freestanding tub to the drain. Clerestory windows wash the sloped ceiling in light and open the view to the sky. The ceiling lines, the tile and the glass all align to contribute to the serene feeling of the space. Special electric features include outlets inside the center drawer, electric floor heat and towel warmers. Landscape designer Cat Chang, of Madron Design designed the outdoor spaces and collaborated on a hot tub deck (not shown).

Escalon Drive is a primary bathroom remodel in Encino, California, designed to bring clarity, comfort, and modern simplicity to the daily routine. The project includes a curbless walk-in shower, a six-foot double vanity, and a more open, functional layout shaped around clean lines, natural light, and ease of use. The shower was designed as a barrier-free space with no glass enclosure, allowing the room to feel more open and continuous. A built-in bench, integrated niche, textured tile wall, and large window contribute to a calm, understated material palette while bringing light deep into the space. The result is a bathroom that feels both practical and refined, with a strong emphasis on openness and quiet detail. With nine-and-a-half-foot ceilings, warm wood cabinetry, and a generous double-sink vanity, the remodel balances utility with a more contemporary residential character. The project reflects a focused approach to bathroom renovation, where proportion, material restraint, and everyday function work together to create a more resolved interior.

The open-concept dining and kitchen area exudes modern elegance, with a light, neutral color palette enhancing its bright and airy ambiance. In the foreground, a large rectangular dining table is surrounded by several light beige or cream-colored chairs, set atop a beige area rug that anchors the space. Adjacent to the dining area, the kitchen is separated by a low, open white partition wall that doubles as a counter. The kitchen features a long white countertop and matching backsplash, complemented by tan or light brown leather-style bar stools arranged along the counter. Stainless steel appliances, including built-in ovens and ranges, are integrated seamlessly into the design, emphasizing functionality and style. A large abstract art piece adorns the wall to the left of the dining table, adding a touch of character to the otherwise minimalist décor. Neutral white walls, smooth ceilings with recessed lighting, and light beige tile-style flooring throughout contribute to the cohesive and serene aesthetic of the space.

The modern kitchen features light gray and white cabinets with smooth, flat fronts, creating a clean, contemporary aesthetic. Above the cabinets, a horizontal band of light gray and beige mosaic-style tile runs along the top of the counters, adding texture to the design. Beneath the tile, the countertops are made of white granite or quartz, offering a bright, elegant surface. A stainless steel refrigerator stands prominently in the space, alongside a matching stainless steel gas range/oven beneath the cabinets. Two stainless steel beverage refrigerators (a wine cooler and freezer) are positioned side by side along the countertop, providing added convenience. The floor is covered in light-gray laminate, with a small, dark-blue area rug featuring a "fresh from food" design in the middle of the floor. The kitchen walls are painted in a pale, light, cool-toned blue, contributing to the room's refreshing atmosphere. The lighting includes recessed fixtures and overhead ambient lighting, ensuring the space is well-lit and inviting.

Located in, Summit Park, Park City UT lies one of the most efficient houses in the country. The Summit Haus – designed and built by Chris Price of PCD+B, is an exploration in design and construction of advanced high performance housing. Seeing a rising demand for sustainable housing along with rising Carbon emissions leading to global warming, this house strives to show that sensible, good design can create spaces adequate for today’s housing demands while adhering to strict standards. The house was designed to meet the very rigid Passiv House rating system – 90% more efficient than a typical home in the area. The house itself was intended to nestle neatly into the 45 degree sloped site and to take full advantage of the limited solar access and views. The views range from short, highly wooded views to a long corridor out towards the Uinta Mountain range towards the east. The house was designed and built based off Passiv Haus standards, and the framing and ventilation became critical elements to maintain such minimal energy requirements. Zola triple-pane, tilt-and-turn Thermo uPVC windows contribute substantially to the home’s energy efficiency, and takes advantage of the beautiful surrounding of the location, including forrest views from the deck off of the kitchen.
