For clients with a deeply modern sensibility, this landscape was designed as a true extension of the architecture: restrained, graphic, and precise. At the street, a slender black picket fence and a palette of ornamental grasses and trees frame the crisp white facade without competing with it. Oversized concrete pavers set with fine gravel joints lead to the entry, flanked by black steel planters and low linear path lights that echo the home's clean horizontal lines.
The rear garden is all about calm. A dark water wall, softened by tall bamboo and a clipped evergreen hedge, creates privacy and a soothing backdrop of sound. Every element was edited to its essentials, resulting in a space that feels architectural, serene, and completely livable.
