Caliper Farms Nursery and Landscape ServicesClient had just completed a beautiful deck, challenge was how to use the space under the deck and how to connect the front yard with the back yard as it was a 9' elevation change. The solution was to build a natural bluestone patio under deck with large natural bluestone steps connecting the front yard to the new patio. The plantings softening all the hardscape, adding color and texture. The lighting created a warm attractive room that was comfortable to access and use.

Montecito LandscapeWhat was once an overgrown jungle opened up to a wonderful and natural area for us to sculpt. Mulch is laid down to control weeds and makes for an appealing backdrop. Large rocks make a natural retaining wall creating a perfect area to set a flagstone patio. An outdoor love seat makes this a perfect place to take in the gorgeous vista.

Billy Goodnick Garden DesignA dry-stack Sydney Peak stone wall built up the soil to provide extra root depth without compromising the crown elevation of the tree. Plant were selected for their ability to find pockets of soil between roots. The existing flagstone slabs were leveled to create safe, comfortable steps. Two shade tolerant, low water ground covers add a simple, grey street-side texture.

The cottage takes up a mere footprint of 500 square feet of land, and the structure is raised above ground level and held by stilts, reducing the disturbance to the fauna and flora. The entrance to the cottage is across a suspended timber bridge hanging over the ground cover. The timber planks are spaced apart to give a delicate view of the green living belt below.
Even though an H-iron framework is used for the formation of the shell, it is finished with earthy toned materials such as timber flooring, timber cladded ceiling and trellis, feature rock walls and a hay-thatched roof.
The bedroom and the open washroom is placed on the ground level closer to the natural ground cover filled with delicate living things to make the sleeper or the user of the space feel more in one with nature, and the use of sheer glass around the bedroom further enhances the experience of living outdoors with the luxuries of indoor living.
The living and dining spaces are on the upper deck level. The steep set roof hangs over the spaces giving ample shelter underneath. The living room and dining spaces are fully open to nature with a minimal handrail to determine the usable space from the outdoors. The cottage is lit up by the use of floor lanterns made up of pale cloth, again maintaining the minimal disturbance to the surroundings.
