Set within a one-acre site, this landscape design is driven by a singular focus: framing interior and interstitial spaces to deepen the connection with nature. At its heart, a majestic tree anchors the intervention, its organic canopy mirrored by a sprawling stone-paved deck that captures the dappled play of light and shade.

Departing from water-intensive tropical gardens, the design embraces a more textural, sensory experience. Seasonal flowers, fragrant temple blooms, and native grasses like vetiver create a dynamic, evolving narrative, engaging sight, smell, and touch. Hardy succulents and local flora enrich the palette, offering a grounded yet ever-changing interaction with the landscape.
