Perched on rugged cliffs overlooking the Salish Sea, this contemporary residence incorporates a restorative, eco-conscious landscape designed to mirror its dramatic setting. Driven by sustainable site strategy, the design features a permeable gravel-and-slab driveway, rainwater preservation infrastructure, and a resilient palette of native, drought-tolerant flora tailored to mitigate runoff and thrive in high-exposure coastal conditions.
At the core of the property, a functional bioswale winds from a neighboring wetland beneath a sleek boardwalk bridge, directing rainwater around a charred cedar fenced vegetable garden. Wind-tolerant grasses and native perennials blend seamlessly into the preserved cliff-top ecosystem, while raised, multifunctional yoga decks float above an airy meadow to create immersive outdoor living spaces.
