FOREST RETREAT

A stone home rooted in the mountains becomes a sanctuary shaped by nature.

This landscape design strengthens the bond between architecture and its alpine surroundings, using sustainable materials and thoughtful engineering to let the home settle gracefully into the land. Permeable paving guides water back into the soil, while native plantings—arranged by water needs—create a resilient, low‑maintenance tapestry that shifts beautifully with the seasons.

Inviting patios, decks, and pergolas extend living spaces outward, framing views of the borrowed landscape. A naturalistic “infinity‑start” waterfall emerges from above the mountain’s visual crest, cascading toward a stone fire pit and gathering terrace. Retaining walls, drainage solutions, and deer‑resistant plantings ensure the site performs as effortlessly as it looks. A retreat where architecture, ecology, and mountain serenity meet.
