Casa Campo

Casa Campo was designed to replace a small 1,100 square foot cottage home that the client had lived in on the property for nearly 20 years. The client, an avid gardener and beekeeper, required that the new home retain as much of the existing landscape as possible, create a strong connection to nature and incorporate design features that would promote pollinators. The strategy of utilizing the footprint of the old home and developing the design program vertically was taken. A roof garden with native wildflowers surrounds the second floor level and an expansive trellis feature that will fill with native flowering vines hovers above the home like a “flower cap”.
