Design Details

Design philosophy

A clear spatial hierarchy organizes a compact dining deck, linear planting beds, water-harvesting court and rear studio threshold, allowing the garden to feel full and layered without compromising circulation or practical use.

  • Layered foreground-to-background depth
  • Connected primary circulation
  • Distinct but related garden rooms
  • Climate-responsive spatial structure
