Northwest Zen
A full-scale makeover was necessary to address drainage issues and create a low-maintenance landscape. It also offered an opportunity to incorporate the homeowner's love of Japanese Zen gardens. We designed a contemplative space that melds the traditional Zen aesthetic with Northwest plants and materials.
An existing masonry wall enclosed the front yard before construction began on the landscape. Dense plantings and locally-sourced boulders soften the space, providing organic architecture to complement the residence.
