Terraced Hillside Living Space, Santa Cruz Ca


Project: Terraced Residential Living Space

Scope of Project: Design + Build

Location: Santa Cruz, California

Intention & Key Features: The primary focus of this design was maximizing usage, transforming a steep, untapped hillside into a flourishing abundant garden. This garden breeds life and provides for entertaining and outdoor living year round.

Four terraced living spaces with an integrated water feature and covered dining area with solar panel array provides the backdrop for edibles, natives, fruiting trees and flowering climbers.

Most important for the client was creating a view shed out to the ocean at the top of the hillside for scoping out those perfect surf sessions. This backyard shows what's possible in the face of uncertainty.
