The backyard, quite visible through every window facing north, is a steep hillside between the home and the driveway descending from the county road above, and Highway 82 not much further. Engineered walls of concrete block ensure the hillside stays where it needs to, but the view was - meh. Too sterile. A meritage of cultivar creeping pines and spruces, cascading vines, variegated shrubs, and a diversity of ornamental grasses and workhorse flowering perennials turned an eye sore into a multitude of beautiful vignettes. Why NOT make the wood pile beautiful?

Michael Fuller Architects and Salt & Dirt | Outside Design both sought to reinvigorate a a dated and worn home and its grounds. This meant the gift of mature trees. Unique today, and seldom grown anymore, multi-trunk, vase shaped Malus spp. arch overhead, beckoning one forward. This gracious, informal welcome called for earthier, energy-imbued walkways. A diversity of flag stones speak to the diversity of geology along the Roaring Fork River. Even-toned stone would have dominated this entry, a scar amid such verdancy. Complimenting the outstretched cascading form of the canopy above, plants beneath also stretch, spray, and sprawl.

Inspired by the words of Adyashanti, the equanimity of Buddha, and flow of the Roaring Fork River. The Client wished for aliveness and tranquility. At the base of red rock cliffs and the frontier of riparian lushness and arid hardscrabble practicalities, this design had to accomplish more than a marriage counselor does. Drought tolerant plant species, botanical form, hue, fragrance and motion coexist in a remarkable, singular harmony.
