Pebble Beach II / This award-winning home was designed with the goals of showcasing its stunning natural setting and experiencing nature from both inside and outside the house. Working closely with the architect, we developed a ravine concept that runs between two wings of the home beneath a glass-enclosed catwalk, dramatically directing a seasonal stream that crosses the property. Landscape elements include a bridge over the stream bed, two seating areas with fire pits, framed views to the ocean, a protected courtyard outside the master suite, and a generous auto-court. Complementing the architecture's elegant simplicity, the landscape draws on a native and regionally-adapted plant palette including coast live oak, California buckeye, arbutus, manzanita, ceanothus, monkeyflower, penstemon, and multiple varieties of bunching grasses. The result is a home and landscape that embraces its occupants, encourages contemplation of nature, and builds a sense of wonder and connection with the natural world.
