RESIDENTIAL WORK

RESIDENTIAL WORK

In 2021, I established my private landscape architecture practice, Studio Basho, specializing in residential projects of all scales—from intimate front yard designs to expansive backyards featuring pools, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens. My practice employs a remote-first approach, enabling me to engage in every phase of the design process, including concept development, schematic design, design development, and construction documentation. Over the years, I have taken great pride in transforming clients’ properties into vibrant, functional spaces that enhance curb appeal and provide lasting enjoyment.

HARMONIZING HUMAN NEEDS WITH NATURE

HARMONIZING HUMAN NEEDS WITH NATURE

Studio Basho is dedicated to cultivating a harmonious connection between people and the natural environment. Whether working with a 500-square-foot front yard or a sprawling acre, I believe every space holds the potential to enhance visual appeal and functionality for its users while contributing positively to the local ecosystem. My studio's approach prioritizes reducing lawn coverage, selecting water-efficient plants, integrating native species, and increasing pervious surfaces to support natural rainfall absorption, fostering sustainable and ecologically balanced landscapes.

My remote process approach works in four distinct stages-

  1. Consultation and site analysis

  2. Conceptual design work complete with 3D renderings

  3. Final design plan with construction documents

  4. Ongoing consultation and construction management

I provide clients with meticulously crafted deliverables, including detailed illustrative plans, precise section details, in-house 3D renderings, and comprehensive construction document sets. These encompass layout, planting, material, lighting, and furnishing plans, ensuring every aspect of the design is thoughtfully addressed. I take pride in guiding clients through a clear, step-by-step process, bringing their vision to life and unlocking the full potential of their outdoor spaces.
