Above the Coastline.

A private residence sited above the Pacific, this garden was drawn to the horizon. Terraces step down from the house; native grasses and drought-tolerant plantings ease the transition from architecture to coastal scrub.

A small pool and a single linear walk are the only formal gestures; everything else is given to the view. The planting has thickened with time into a softer, looser thing than the drawings imagined.
