Project overview
Set on a sprawling 4-acre property in Colorado, this landscape design transforms a hillside estate into a private resort built for family entertaining. The design works with the land rather than against it, preserving the site's natural contours while layering in a resort-style pool, a personal putting green, and multiple gathering spaces that frame sweeping views of the surrounding terrain. Native and regionally adapted planting beds tie the architecture back into the native Colorado landscape, creating a home that feels rooted in its setting.
