Modern Desert Aesthetic

This project with Tate Studio Architects many years ago is one of our favorites, using strong geometric shapes in the planters to complement the pool and design of the build. This reinforced the modern aesthetic, with primarily neutral color palette, gray tone of the paving and gravel contrasting with the green of the plants and the golden hues of the barrel cacti.

This created a sophisticated and harmonious look.

The plants were carefully arranged to create focal points and visual interest. The tall columnar cacti provide vertical accents, while the rounded barrel cacti add textural contrast. The succulents in the rectangular planters create a sense of order and balance.

This created a visually stunning and low-maintenance outdoor space that complements the desert environment.

The design reflects a modern and luxurious approach to desert living.
