Forester Ave
Los Altos
Through thoughtful landscape architecture, this project was reimagined as a modern update that fully embraces the California environment we live in. By utilizing the best of what is existing, the design preserves the character of the property while introducing clean architectural lines, natural materials, and layered plantings that feel both refined and welcoming. Native and climate-adapted plantings provide texture and colorful interest through the seasons, creating a landscape that feels vibrant, resilient, and deeply connected to its surroundings.
The backyard spaces were carefully designed to embrace outdoor living with shaded gathering areas and open terraces that encourage connection to the garden year-round. Drought-tolerant planting palettes included in the landscape architecture create a timeless balance between beauty and function. Mature trees and thoughtfully placed screening establish privacy while maintaining openness and light throughout the property. Every element works together to shape an outdoor living environment that is sustainable, inviting, and rooted in the natural character of California.
