Garden Sanctuary in Spanish Colonial Revival
Location: Mission Hills, San Diego.
Pre-design brainstorming: We emphasise the importance of existence of the structures as they belong to the architectural gravity of the desired style of the property, and thus create a new identity with association of Spanish Collonial Revival essence for the unfolding future evolution of the property. In such way, we predetermine the overall style, however leaving openly opportunities for presence or introduction of other elements that may come with post design processes. In this very philosophical essence we are refering to the evolution of the Garden Sanctuary Project Design - Designing Landscapes as Evolutionary System.
EXISTING CONDITION
One of the main challenges of the design is to unite front and backyard of the property into coherent vision. Here while the front yard of the house was built in Spanish Colonial Revival, the backyard was completely missing it. Below are some pictures of existing condition, which served as a starting point for the design.
PROJECT DESIGN DRAWINGS
LASD Studio has developed the concept proposing the Garden as a heart and spirit of the property in Spanish Colonial Revival style. Project has three main areas: front yard and entry to the house; large deck; and backyard Sanctuary Garden. To enrich a gentle aesthetic value of the space, we have proposed to use wavy hedges, garden trellis, water features, patios, arbors and other elements in Spanish Colonial Revival style, among which on the backyard a new curved pathway system in organic flow of energy.
