Pebble Beach 04 / The renovation of this 1960’s-era home involved selective editing, incisive additions, and strategic screening throughout the landscape to create a family refuge. The restored oak woodland at the entrance brings drama to the curving driveway and provides a counter-weight to the home’s panoramic views across Monterey Bay. Cascading down a steep slope, the landscape design incorporates dry-stacked boulder walls to edge gathering terraces, create planting beds, frame a putting green, and retain the slope at the crushed-gravel auto-court. An ocean-view terrace leads directly out of the living room and steps down to a patio with firepit. The back patio, featuring a trellised herb garden, vine-covered arbor, and outdoor pizza oven, reinforces the property’s casual, welcoming vibe and links the main residence to a garage, guest houses, and studio with roof deck. Throughout the garden, citrus trees, bougainvillea, and perennials provide a year-round bounty for birds and other pollinators.
