QUIET LUXURY Atherton, CA

Calmness characterizes the grounds of a new construction estate in one of the Bay Area’s most private neighborhoods. An elevated California farmhouse is nestled among groves of oaks and redwoods with an understory planting palette reminiscent of native Northern California forests. Organic and sculptural plantings balance the crisp geometries of stone patios. Gathering spaces intimate enough for everyday family life can transform into connected areas ideal for large events.
