The minimalist landscape design features an entry garden, outdoor dining room, and pool area. Interior and exterior are connected through the use of strong lines, a restrained color palette, and repeated geometric forms.

Emphasizing that interior and exterior function as one, there is no traditional front door; instead, a gate in the front hedge serves as entry to both house and garden. The entry garden and rectilinear lawn provides a play space separate from the pool area. The outdoor dining room connects to the kitchen and is the intersection between interior, garden, and pool.
