The brief

This commission was visualisation only. The architect needed the landscape resolved in 3D before planning submission, so the renders show grading, planting at year one and year ten, and the pool terrace at dusk.

We used native Sonoran species throughout so the planting reads as part of the hill rather than a garden placed on it.
