2025 Cercy Residence
Project Overview
This landscape design balances functionality, natural aesthetics, and architectural harmony—bringing together practical site needs with a poetic connection to the surrounding mountain environment.
The circulation strategy allows for a comfortable 10-foot-wide snowplowing clearance around the house, ensuring year-round accessibility and ease of maintenance. From this foundation, the paths expand into a gentle network of trails and transitions, inviting exploration beyond the immediate dwelling area and into the broader beauty of the property.
The geometry of the layout is carefully harmonized with the home's architecture, using thoughtful shapes and offsets that respond to the building’s form and orientation. Lines and curves are not arbitrary—they echo the house, supporting a cohesive relationship between built and planted spaces.
Designed with flexibility in mind, the plan respects the existing site topography and earthwork banks. Final adjustments will be made on-site, ensuring the design aligns precisely with real-world conditions and opportunities that emerge during construction.
The planting concept supports and amplifies native vegetation, blending it with select ornamental species to enhance texture, seasonality, and resilience. This combination reinforces the site's natural character while introducing moments of designed beauty and biodiversity.
The result is a landscape that is functional, adaptive, and immersive—a place that feels anchored to its setting, easy to live with, and inspiring to walk through.
Masterplan
Reading Guide
To communicate the full vision of the landscape design, we’ve developed several layered visual readings of the masterplan. Each layer highlights a specific design intent and gives you the flexibility to explore the property’s layout through different lenses.
Moodboard
Visual inspiration Guide
This curated moodboard captures the aesthetic, material, and botanical intentions of the landscape design. Each slide represents a key theme, showcasing reference images that reflect the spirit of the site and the design philosophy. Together, they guide visual decision-making for plant selection, hardscaping, material tones, and seasonal interest.
Preview Renderings V1
Early Visualization Stage
These images are early-stage preview renderings intended to give a first impression of the design in context.
They are shown in low resolution, with no post-production or color correction applied.
Please note: these previews are not representative of the final deliverables. The final renderings will be presented in high resolution with refined lighting, materials, and post-production enhancements for a polished and realistic result.

Gallery – Updated Deck & Hot Tub Layout
This gallery presents an alternative patio design featuring a new location for the hot tub on a dedicated square deck. This layout improves circulation around the house and simplifies construction by replacing a concrete area with decking, reducing the need for excavation.
The patio area at the bottom of the stairs is shown with approximate sizing for now, pending on-site confirmation. Optional seating arrangements are included to illustrate the space potential and view orientation.
