This bluff-top estate features a mill house with water-wheel, a stream and series of cascades, a koi pond with biological filtration, a chicken coop, organic vegetable gardens and fruit orchard, extensive rose gardens, a lap pool, and sweeping views of the Palos Verdes Penninsula, Santa Catalina Island, and the Pacific Ocean.
The design and planning for this site focused on complimenting the panoramic views of the Los Angeles basin and Pacific Ocean while screening the owner from an adjacent city reservoir tank. A specially designed water feature with a cave steam room adjoins the pool and diving area, creating maximum outdoor usage for the owner and his many guests, while shielding them from the unsightly tank.
This estate, nestled on top of a ridge in Bel Air, features city vistas on one side, and mountain and ocean views on the other. A series of formal terraced gardens were designed to compliment the Spanish revival style house and create more usable space for hosting events. Special attention was paid to creating a graceful transition between each unique space of the garden.
The client's interest in this Las Vegas ranch was relatively simple: keep the existing duck pond, provide privacy from neighbors, and make it look like the mountains of Montana. Creative grading, the use of both real and faux rock, and dense planting was used to achieve this effect.
This estate lies in one of Malibu's most beautiful canyons. The house and landscape were remodeled and rejuvenated for the new owners. Of special interest is the custom biological filtration system that was designed for the existing windmill and waterwheel pond to create habitats natural to this setting.
A small hillside lot (1/3 acre) with no useable flat space was transformed to accommodate a pool and spa, with decks and terraces allowing the homeowner to enjoy the natural beauty of the adjoining state forest. Numerous paths were created through carefully constructed hillside landscape planning.
A double beach front lot that features an infinity edge pool and spa with views of Point Dume to the south and Lechuza Point to the north.
