In addition, a grand entry water retention and micro-climate feature were added to create an incredible entry approach. Adding these elements also allow for the property to take advantage of the prevailing southern winds. Evidently, there is now an ability to hold and re-purpose runoff from the site for irrigation. These innovations continue to engage elements from the compound’s surroundings and environment.
The environment and sustainability were carefully considered in this family compound landscape design. Not only was the client part of the process but the project helped not to take away from the surrounding environment.
