| Palm Canyon Residence Situated within one of the canyons near Serra Retreat along the Malibu coast, the Moore residence garden unifies a number of structures that form a family compound. The main house is approached through an allée of mature California pepper trees opening onto a parking court paved with decomposed granite. The front entry court is planted with broad-leaved tropical plants and succulents whose openness recalls Balzac’s words, “If one looks at anything long enough, it becomes interesting.” Local stone defines the edges of the great lawn, built into walls that slide past each other to frame planted steps. Our idea was to create viable and sustainable gardens within a compound designed to accommodate the needs of active children and their parents. |
