Halison Place Residence | Torrance, California
Combining the finest of California contemporary architecture, this landscape merges the interior with the exterior of the home. As does the home, the landscape unfolds as you approach and go through the home. The front is spartan, yet lush, with a simple arrangement of palms, grasses and flax. The central courtyard is a zen meditation garden and the rear yard explodes with California native color and plantings. Within the rear yard is a terraced lanai, play area and open lawn area. Landscape lighting is used to enhance both the architecture and the landscape along with giving the home owner and guests visual access to the gardens at night. The hardscape is a blend of stone and custom concrete.
