Lilac Drive

Architect: Marmol Radziner

Location: Montecito, California

From the architect: "Designed to nestle into the landscape, the home is composed of a variety of natural materials including local Santa Barbara sandstone, reclaimed wood, and smooth-troweled, dark finished cement plaster. Oak trees are protected in Montecito, so the shape of the house was determined both by the trees and the pathway of a protected creek running through the property. Intersecting roof planes and deep roof overhangs define the design of the residence. Green roofs accentuate the second story, flanking the master bedroom and its private deck in rear. Walls of windows and sliding glass doors line the rear of the home on both levels, looking out over the grounds, outdoor living area, and swimming pool."

The Pool House

Architect: Luigi Rosselli Architects

Landscape Design: Will Dangar

Location: Randwick, New South Wales, Australia

From the architect: "The wraparound swimming pool plays the starring role in these alterations and additions and becomes the architectural pivot that binds 100 years of history. The organic two-story pool house addition at the back of a single-story 1910 cottage is surrounded by a swimming pool, and the water is the focus that holds the two distinct sections of the house together."

Los Altos Hills Landscape

A series of terraced wood decks maximizes lounge space with an enhanced views of the landscape."
