A collaboration with emerging firm Enns Gauthier Landscape Architects Inc., this project features a newly completed green roof at the iconic Villa Maris -- a 15-story, 101 unit, seaside resort-style, 1960s apartment building known locally as the Pink Palace, a nod to the vibrant color of its exterior. Here undulating mounds mimic the waves of the seaside visible in the distance. Photo courtesy Enns Gauthier Landscape Architects, Inc.

photo and landscape: Dave Demers - CYAN Horticulture architecture: Darrell Epp In close collaboration with Darrell Epp, Architect, CYAN Horticulture was invited to maximize use of the very limited space surrounding this newly renovated single-family residence. Perched atop a 75-feet forested ravine and overlooking a protected salmon stream, this low-lying house seems to be floating in the wilderness. On the more exposed side, sunny and connecting to the street, the distinctive silhouette of gingkos and squared-off beeches, mounding lavenders and graphic maiden grasses, play against expanses of raw concrete and accents of reclaimed, century-old barn wood. On the sheltered side, shady and sloping down to the stream, a variety of dark green foliages merge into the surroundings.

photo-Caitlin Atkinson We removed nearly a quarter acre of lawn before mounding these island beds and planting them with relatively water conserving plants. Here you see the terminus of our work, where it joins the rear lawn. The owner reserved this "edge" for her hobby...a tiny version of an English Perennial Border.

A retired client wanted to jazz up the entrance to her home but leave the orchard, veggie beds and hardscape the way it was. Since she does all the maintenance herself, I wanted to make sure she wouldn't have too many weeds so we used the winter months to sheet mulch the area, killing the massive amount of existing weeds & enriching the hard soil. This worked beautifully. We added a flagstone pathway with Dymondia between the stones and a small area for her new bench to sit and enjoy the garden. She didn't want plants under her messy tree, so we decorated that area with pots. She has a huge deer & gopher problem which is why she hangs the white ribbons to scare away the deer from her fruit trees.

We love grasses and used a lot of blue-hued (glaucus) plants to go with this mid-mod home.
