Sea Lane

Between a Cliff May and a Doug Rucker, within a single compound in Paradise Cove, the garden unfolds through the slope’s shifting viewpoints. The perimeter gives way to the surrounding old growth trees, blurring the line between cultivated and natural, a quiet sleight of hand that sets the stage for bolder gestures within the walls. It is an informal outdoor living room amidst botanical peculiarities. Sand-textured concrete steps and raw quarry limestone blocks move between the slope’s levels. An oyster shell-finished wall echoes the ocean. A floating bench and an ipe deck anchor the gathering spaces and carry the quality of an amphitheater.
