Gravel Courtyard - Water fall - Slab stone steps - privacy screens - boulder settings - Front entry

A 1,000 s.f. addition on top of a 1930's Tudor cottage without overwhelming it. Matched rooflines and proportions and designed in the spirit of the original home. Front door used to be facing to the side, so was relocated. A new gentle oak stair to the new second floor comes down just inside the front door. Contractor was Chris Viney, of Britman Construction, and photographer was Philip Wegener Photography

Situated in old Palo Alto, CA, this historic 1905 Craftsman style home now has a stunning landscape to match its custom hand-crafted interior. Our firm had a blank slate with the landscape, and carved out a number of spaces that this young and vibrant family could use for gathering, entertaining, dining, gardening and general relaxation. Mature screen planting, colorful perennials, citrus trees, ornamental grasses, and lots of depth and texture are found throughout the many planting beds. In effort to conserve water, the main open spaces were covered with a foot friendly, decorative gravel. Giving the family a great space for large gatherings, all while saving water.
