A Tuscan villa preparing for sale and the next owner who’ll inherit its expansive California hilltop views. The brief: an updated Mediterranean garden with designated zones for poolside lounging, cooking, fireside evenings (pit and place), bocce, and anytime entertaining.

Softscape gives the property its resort sensibility — palms and olives anchoring the pool, ornamental grasses defining the kitchen and pool transitions, sculptural anchors at the fire pit, and Mediterranean classics throughout: fountain plantings, a fragrant rosemary perimeter, and bougainvillea-wrapped columns. Each move is familiar to the genre; together they read as one composed garden rather than a collection of tropes.
