We worked with our clients throughout the process of their home being built and created a landscape design that would allow them the privacy they wished for as well as a material palette reminescent of the Pacific Northwest. Quaking aspen, hydrangea and sedge highlighted here.

AFTER: Over half of the boulders were relocated to other parts of the site to assist in retaining soil and the boulders here were placed in a way that mimics nature. The stair walls were re-done so that the upper portions were covered in the same style of stone as the house, while the lower part of the stair combined a few boulders with the house stone to transition more eloquently to the boulders below.

Our West Town client envisioned a lush, versatile retreat atop their exposed penthouse roof. To bring this vision to life, we expanded the terrace’s square footage by 50%, reusing and matching existing fencing panels to seamlessly extend the railing and unify the space. An aluminum pergola with motorized Corradi USA shade fabric provides essential shade and privacy, while an outdoor kitchen by Urban Bonfire offers grilling, refrigeration, storage, and counter space. Planter boxes filled with fruit trees, quaking aspens, vibrant perennials, and seasonal annuals line the terrace, adding color and natural movement. A serene water feature with a Greek maiden serves as a focal point, while a seating and dining area reflects the client’s bold style. After dark, soft lighting accentuates the plantings, ground plane, and shade fabric, creating a warm, inviting ambiance. Reflections from nearby skyscrapers complete this elevated urban sanctuary, perfect for unwinding under the city’s night sky.

Weeping Alaskan Cedar and Quaking Aspen mixed well with Mid-Winter Fire Shrub dogwood and others.
