At Templeton Ridge Winery and Burbank Vineyards the clients are passionate, creative people embarking on the exciting task of building a vineyard and winery from scratch. They love their setting, the view and the greater landscape, but disliked many aspects of the style and quality of the home on the site.

I’ve recently completed a quick handbook of staging recommendations for a Lower Pacific Heights Edwardian home in San Francisco. The owner is having her interior professionally staged by a staging company and recognized that a good deal of attention was needed for her exterior spaces as well.
The house is gorgeous, but was lost behind a [...]
The rainbow makes the construction site look deceptively peaceful. It’s busy at the Templeton Ridge Winery residence these days. Field grown olives have just been placed and its a thrill and a relief to see the neighbor’s house disappear. I’m sure the clients are looking forward to some peace: swimming amidst the grapes and looking [...]
Construction is well underway at the main residence of Templeton Ridge Winery and Burbank Vineyards. I am really pleased with how dramatic the view is out into the surrounding hills from every vantage point.
I know linearity can be a tough sell for many when it comes to landscape and garden design. I love a meandering [...]

A two unit building was converted into a single residence, and Third Nature Studio provided landscape design services for the developer. The palette is simple, lush and drought tolerant – all vibrant green agaves, bright blue [...]

The landscape contractor, Teufel is doing excellent work at NE 99th, and we are on schedule to have a beautiful, established landscape by wedding day. The clients are a joy to work with, and we are all thrilled to see our collaborative design slowly emerge from the mud.

We are breaking ground next week at the NE 99th Street project in Portland! The house has great, mid-century bones, and the landscape is intended to be a contemporary complement to them. Best of all, the design will be the setting for the clients’ summer wedding, and I feel so honored to be a part [...]
