Yet another Eichler because I will probably never say no to working with these iconic midcentury gems. This one is a townhome—limited and rare in the already limited Eichler world. The indoor space is cozy and bright with plenty of amazing natural light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows (as expected) looking out on front and back courtyards. It’s time for a refresh on these outdoor spaces, which most definitely serve as extensions of the indoor living space. We will save or relocate any existing plants that are happy in the space, while removing others that are struggling for various reasons. Full demo of existing + all new hardscape will give the spaces an entirely new look, feel and functionality. The landscape design also includes sourcing and styling of all new outdoor furniture and container planters. Gallery below shows before photos + glimpses of the design process, including my planting plan layout + hand-drawn elevations by Seul Terre collaborator Suzie Lofting. Build phase happening SP25 with R+R Backyard Remodeling. Stay tuned for progress pics…

Existing plant highlights that will remain: Podocarpus henkelii and Trichocereus pachanoi, among others.
