Envision Landscape StudioThis garden implements the sounds, textures, sights and emotions of the california northern coast and transposes them into a small suburban backyard, serving to mask the urban noises and surrounding architecture. Along the water edges and lower tiers of the garden, meadow grasses and perennial flowers emerge, at the mid tiers of the garden riparian plantings emerge, and at the highest levels of the garden Oak trees emerge with soft grass understory plantings, defining the space and giving the garden its unique northern coast feeling. Smooth stucco walls contain the plantings and define the space.
David Ling ArchitectThe house is integrated in the surrounding natural
environment of beach and dunes. The large expanses of glass on the second floor
allow views of both very different bodies of water: the placid bay and ever
changing ocean.
The exterior mass of the main body of the house is composed of 3 parts, a cement panel clad bottom, a cedar clad roof/ceiling and sides, and thirdly, joining the two are the second floor glass windows. Horizontal cedar slats are placed to the sides, filtering the views to the neighboring houses.
