Novato Woodland

The landscape design for this private family residence at Novato Woodlands is an exercise in transformation and intention. Drought tolerant plantings weave between the existing trees, preserving the woodland character while bringing new layers of texture and seasonal interest to the forest floor. The hardscape and built elements are designed with as much care as the planting, their materials chosen to feel at home among timber and dry earth.
