The thin, long character of the lot coupled with a descent grade up to the entry door allowed for a creative layout with discovery along the way.

Smooth lines coupled with modern design is reflected in the home's exterior as well as the front landscape. Plants that require little water and lots of sunlight work perfectly with the desert climate.

Long concrete steps provide the pathway to the home's front entry. On either side, linear retaining walls hold a variety of succulents.

Succulents such as agave, euphorbia and yucca are separated by retaining walls and fill out the home's desert landscape.
