On a half-acre oak-studded lot overlooking Sonoma Valley, designer Stephen Suzman created a landscape that appears part of nature. Disturbance was minimized; materials were sourced on-site. Stone for walls was gathered on the property. Native brodiaea bulbs disrupted during construction were transplanted. A steel-and-concrete pergola’s pillars were distressed to look old, and its steel lath was rusted in a field before installation.
Pacific Coast iris, sword fern, and other natives enhance natural areas. Around the house, edibles (persimmon, grapes) and old-fashioned plants like wisteria suggest a restored ranch garden. Jurors praised the restraint and regional appropriateness.
