Inspired Outdoor Living
ABOVE: This landscape design, envisioned by John Saurez while with Design Workshop, responds to the client's vision to create an environment
that evokes and celebrates the vernacular landscape systems found in the Rocky Mountains, including streams, ponds, woodland forest,
wildflower meadows, and rock outcroppings. Therefore, this poolscape is simultaneously wild and native, intimate and manicured.

FACING PAGE TOP AND BOT TOM RIGHT: The landscape design strategy follows an orderly sequence of geometries at this Scosdale, Arizona,
property. The central courtyard is an intimate family space, where the senses are activated by the soothing sounds of rectangular steel water
features along with a fire pit surrounded by a cozy, well-furnished space. The pool garden and ramada were designed to amplify the client's
desire for an alfresco lifestyle with memories made in the swimming and lounging pool, outdoor kitchen, and more. The plant program
introduces both native and non-native species that help formalize the geometric order.
FACING PAGE BOT TOM LEFT: At this Scosdale residence, the landscape includes a series of garden moments where forms, textures, colors, and
sound are choreographed to deliver an amplified sense of place, and to complement the contemporary style of the home. The plant palee of
desert marigold, chuparosa, desert sages, agaves, opuntia species, and cactii, celebrate the richness of the Sonoran Desert.
