Beaumont Residence Completion

After a challenging construction period, WAX and Summit Landscape have delivered front and rear gardens for the Beaumont residence that offer visual interest and create usable spaces for the client.

The design for the sloping rear of the site creates a series of living spaces. Juxtaposing the natural grade, linear stone walls are creatively located to interrupt the gradient and craft usable levels. Three distinct levels allow for larger entertaining, intimate seating and a productive garden through the elegant response to the site.

The front landscape sees strips of corten steel creating terraced levels of lawn that shape green extensions to the blue stone entry steps to the house across the site. The landscapes linear composition creates a strong visual language responding to the architecture allowing a smooth transition between it and the landscape.
