Mid-Century Modern Delight

A wonderful young family makes their 1950s ranch-style Lafayette home and garden their own: warm, open, inviting, and abundant. This place easily and joyfully reflects the people who live within it.

​

A passion for homegrown food, a desire to reduce and/or eliminate unnecessary landscape watering, and spaces for their children and family and friends to play are the inspirations of this special place.

​

Clean, modern lines and forms are repeated throughout, both inside and outside their home. In place of asphalt, new large-format Bluestone treads welcome you to their remodeled front entry, integrated with their existing clay bricks and new planting beds.

​

Front-yard lawn was down-sized to a modest-sized circle for barefoot pleasure. New curved concrete and Corten steel planters now anchor the space. Fruit-producing trees and native and climate-wise plants bring both vibrant and restful color throughout.
