This stunning contemporary home designed by Guilietti Schouten Weber Architects maximizes the potential of a challenging, steeply sloped lot. In the landscape, a series of terraced planter walls in concrete, corten steel, and stone hug the steep hillside from the street level down to the boathouse and dock. Nestled into the front terraced garden is an outdoor seating area surrounded by plantings. A series of concrete steps connects the front garden to an inviting lakeside patio that features a covered bar, built-in bench seating, and a custom concrete fire table. Throughout the landscape, the level terraces were planted with an abundance and variety of vegetation selected to provide attractive, ever-changing views from the home’s balconies above, a succession of blooms with changes in color and texture throughout the growing season, and evergreen foliage for winter interest. A limited color palette (that includes silver and bronze foliage, and white, blue, purple, and yellow flowers) is in harmony with the architectural finishes of natural and stained cedar, concrete and black metalwork.

Landscape construction was by Riverland Homes and Showscapes, Inc. The original concept design for the lakeside landscape was by Amanda Mooney/Mooney Design Studio. Images below by David Papazian Photography, Inc.
