Westsmith Ranch Atherton, CA

For an active family, Boxleaf created an inviting, low-maintenance landscape for play dates, pool parties, and barbecues. A new gym building by SDG Architecture is surrounded by an outdoor wellness area with sauna, cold plunge, and shower. An open pavilion hosts year-round entertaining with its kitchen, bar, and lounge seating. Meandering paths connect a fire-pit lounge to the family “picnic” table flanked by fruitless olive trees. Flexible play space sits adjacent to a new sport court and tree house. At street-side, the impervious driveway was replaced with a verdant, low-water Kurapia lawn framed by an orchard and pollinator plantings.
