Beachside Rhythm

Sunset Cliffs, San Diego

Perched in the hills of Sunset Cliffs, this property is transformed into a layered coastal landscape that feeds off it's natural topography and reflects the laid-back refinement of its setting. A series of outdoor spaces, crafted with natural materials and a clean palette, creates both flow and function from front yard to back.

The front yard blends existing mature trees with new Mediterranean and native species—rosemary, flax, grevillea, and lavender—adding movement, softness, and curb appeal.  At the front of the home, a raised Kebony wood deck with stainless steel cable railing floats above a sculpted lawn, offering a breezy extension of the indoors that provides views of the ocean.  In the backyard, layers unfold: a children's play zone, a vegetable garden with cedar planters and espaliered fruit trees, and a fire-side seating area for relaxed evenings. 

Tucked in a quiet corner, a dedicated “Zen zone” with Japanese style plantings, a sauna, and an outdoor shower, offer a meditative retreat. The overall composition balances livability with style, delivering a flexible, high-functioning outdoor environment for both everyday use and weekend entertaining.
