VIA HERMOSA

With unrivaled panoramic views of the rolling Orinda hills and distant California mountaintops, this landscape is designed as a front-row seat to nature’s grandeur.

Every element—from the perfectly positioned pool loungers to the architecturally integrated pergola—is oriented to capture the ever-changing light and drama of the landscape, ensuring that at any moment of the day, the view remains the showpiece.

Extending the home’s seamless blend of modern and traditional craftsman aesthetics, the outdoor space feels like an elevated extension of the architecture itself. The fireplace, thoughtfully placed to frame the horizon, mirrors the flickering tones of the fire brush grasses that elegantly define the property’s edge. Beneath it all, a palette of water-wise plantings ensures sustainability without sacrificing luxury, casting dynamic shadows that dance across the pool’s surface, adding an extra layer of movement to the space.

This estate is a masterclass in contextual design, where the architecture, materials, and landscape are choreographed to celebrate California’s natural beauty—a sanctuary where the horizon is always within reach.
