LITTLECREST DRIVE

The client had recently purchased a mid-century home and was seeking to modernize the aesthetic of both the home and grounds.  He wanted a landscape consisting primarily of textures and colors but not of flowers.  The design sought to pull the landscape away from the house using a series of interlocking rectilinear spaces in which would be planted predominantly grasses, with some shrubs.  Drainage was to be redirected to the side of the house, and thus the design proposed a dry wash in which to direct and absorb the diverted water.  The rectilinear spaces were intended to break down and be carried away into the wash.
