Carefully sited onto its environment, this dwelling was placed to reveal a magnificent vista. Maximizing the use of the site by creating stepped terraces that envelope the residence and frame the spectacular views. The long reflecting pool provides its orientation amongst the sweeping panorama of the surrounding hills that enhance the relationship of the interior and exterior spaces of this multi-story home. The dynamic thrust of the soaring inverted roof meets the landscape beneath a dominant overhang. The result is a sense of protected openness and freedom within expansive interior space surrounded by glass. www.bernardandre.com

Wider angle shot of the great room shows you the living room, dining room and a peak into the start of the kitchen. The fiddle fig leaf plant in its basket with black base keeps it soft and playful. The beautiful dining table with its porcelain marbeled top extends as well, the chairs clean with a simple wipe for this young house, and the walnut legs complement the millwork in the kitchen. The dining room console is stunning with its acrylic base and lacqured burled wood in onyx finish anchored by a simple round mirror with brass accents. The white and fuschia flowers bring some softness to this space.The homeowners had the chandelier from before and it brings so much character to the space.

This picture of this beautiful home was shot from a place of relaxation. This backyard comes well-equipped with a pool, sunshine and a small green house to tend to. That's not even the most exciting part though! This homeowner had their windows done by Wonderful Windows and Siding. These large windows give a perfect view onto the backyard and allow natural light in while blocking out harmful UV rays. The windows on the second floor have white-wooden blinds as a window treatment.

Pots, planters, old birdbaths, living walls. My succulent designs have been featured in numerous publications, most notably three books written by The Succulent Queen, Debra Lee Baldwin: "Succulent Container Gardens" and "Succulents Simplified," I love doing what I do. Let's talk!

The outside world and its intrusions are held at bay. An authentic retreat, the patio setting offers a welcome refuge within its surroundings.

This exceptional backyard by Alterra Landscaping, a triumph of outdoor living design, was meticulously planned by a skilled landscape architect. The space features a gourmet outdoor kitchen with a built-in grill and Big Green Egg smoker, all integrated into a stunning stone countertop and base. The area is anchored by a magnificent stone fireplace with a mounted TV, providing a cozy and functional hub for relaxation and entertaining, all under the elegant shade of a custom pergola.

This striking aerial shot captures the artistry of a tiered xeriscape landscape designed for both beauty and sustainability. Flowing curves define each level of the hillside, with retaining walls guiding the eye from the stamped concrete driveway down to a cozy circular fire pit patio and vibrant garden beds. Native and drought-tolerant plantings—including ornamental grasses, conifers, and perennials—are artfully arranged to create texture and color across all seasons. Carefully placed boulders, meandering pathways, and natural mulches enhance the organic feel, while hardscape transitions—such as the concrete stairs and modern deck—maintain a clean, structured aesthetic. This layout exemplifies smart mountain design that harmonizes with the natural surroundings while maximizing function and outdoor enjoyment.
