Terraced Horizon
The design challenge was to organize a complex hillside into a series of structured outdoor living spaces that extend the architecture into the landscape. Each area grounds the home while opening outward to expansive valley views. Retaining, grading, and circulation are integrated to create usable outdoor spaces while maintaining a strong connection to the surrounding terrain.
Planting strategies emphasize textural layering and seasonal variation, referencing native plant communities while providing visual cohesion across the site. Key program elements—including fire features, seating areas, and the pool terrace—are positioned to maximize views and usability.
The result is a cohesive system of spaces that balance structure with the natural slope of the land.
