AMALFI DRIVE

Clients: Private Residence
Status: Complete
Working with the development team of Gunderson Matkins and O+L Building Projects, GSLA developed an integrative landscape solution, which sought to preserve the important programing goals of the project, while softening the strong architectural forms.
The chipseal drivecourt was edged with low bands of Australian native plants and sycamores trees to create a layered privacy barrier from the street. Against the front facade, mature Agave americanas were planted to create a sculptural counter point to the horizontal bands of the house. And in the back, subtle sweeps of perennial and native grass plantings, punctuated by succulents, frame canyon views in the distance.
