Overview

Across a fourteen-acre, five-lot family property in Woodside, the landscape connects residential life, gathering spaces and recreation with existing oak woodland. Native planting, meadows and carefully placed outdoor rooms create transitions between cultivated spaces and the surrounding wooded landscape.
