MODERN REVAMP WITH LIVING WALL - ​MID-CENTURY MODERN RESIDENCE, SAUSALITO, CA

2022 APLD "GOLD" Award Winning Landscape Design
​ 
Judges' Comments: 
"Wow, from drab to fab! 
"A vibrant and artistic solution that displays an abundance of visual
pleasure within a very small footprint. Great job"



Project Overview:
An extensive landscape remodel for this mid-century modern home features a dramatic living wall/vertical garden, designed to provide a welcoming focal point at the home's entrance. I carefully chose plants for the Living Wall that provide year-round appeal and designed to achieve long cascading "waves"  with a variety of textures and leaf colors. From pale greens to blue greens, to burgundies and rust tones, some plants with white and yellow flowers were added to the mix. A couple of the plants were replaced in the Spring of 2021, two  years after installation. The tired lawn was replaced, the garden extended and filled with colorful and textural water-wise grasses, succulents, flowering plants and shrubs that echo the theme in the living wall. All of the dated concrete was removed and replaced. The walkway was designed with large geometric concrete pavers, complimented by polished black Mexican pebbles in between. The design carries through the new concrete driveway. The modern, black low-voltage lighting fixtures and updated front doorway and garage door complete this "Award-winning" front landscape transformation.
Design Details:
  • Dramatic  8' x 9' Living Wall covers large bare wall providing a beautiful and welcoming focal point. Updated in 2021.
  • Contemporary concrete pathway with polished accent pebbles.
  • New concrete driveway.
  • Flowing grasses and other low-water, low-care plants in the landscape areas replace the lawn.
  • Colorful combination of grasses, succulents and cascading plants in a flowing pattern design for the living wall.
  • The Florafelt LIving Wall System chosen for the living wall.
  • Low-voltage LED lighting for pathways, and highlights.
