SUCCULENT AND STONE San Diego, CA

Colorful “dry-lush” plants and delightful details complete this sun-swept Spanish courtyard home. Circular Corten arches lead into a contemplative memory garden. Flagstone and gravel pathways meander through garden rooms, connecting to a bocce court. A covered patio is artfully illuminated, while focal planters with hand painted tiles flank a kinetic art sculpture. In the central courtyard an angular ledge stone is planted with miniature succulents, a trellis is filled with native grape, and a field grown olive tree presides.
