A record of what may be carried forward.

The Collection brings together visual observations of cared-for places. Each study preserves something worth seeing again.

Cared-for places in San Diego.

A compact North Park front garden where a shaded walk connects the neighborhood sidewalk to a cared-for entry.

North Park Front Garden

The walk from sidewalk to entry becomes a legible threshold under mature shade.

A mature Mission Hills garden edge where shade, grade, planting, and older retaining material create several conditions.

Mission Hills Garden Edge

Shade held longer below the retaining edge than on the outer walk.

A narrow Point Loma side yard where a weathered gate, coastal haze, paving, and wind-shaped planting meet.

Point Loma Side Yard

Wind read first in the grasses, then in the cooler light beyond the gate.

A mature waterwise La Jolla garden in strong coastal light, with the distant ocean held quietly behind the landscape.

La Jolla Ocean-View Garden

Strong light reached the open edge while established planting softened the exposure.

A shared Point Loma entry where coastal exposure, circulation, privacy walls, and planting meet.

Point Loma Multifamily Entry

Exposure increased above the wall while the entry planting held a quieter edge.

A cared-for planting edge beside a pool, observed where paving, drainage, shade, and circulation meet.

Pool Landscape Transition

The narrow water edge revealed where drainage, shade, and foot traffic converged.
