"When your clients are as adventurous as you are, it's a match made in design heaven." That's exactly what I thought when my client described his vision for his outdoor space – a "relaxing, retreat, and heaven."

The crisp travertine-clad house already dominated the surrounding neighborhood architecture. To complement its modern elegance, I decided to frame it with large, mature trees within the boundary wall. The crisp, warm travertine was paired with rustic slatestone on the driveway, and captivating greens created a welcoming environment.

The landscape design beautifully narrates the wisdom of Socrates: "The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less." By focusing on creating a serene and inviting outdoor space, we transformed the client's home into a true sanctuary.
