Some of the most successful projects result when the design of the site and the design of the architecture, along with the owners' goals, are considered as one collaborative effort. At the Two Palms Residence – a playful nickname given to the project when, after the existing structure was razed, there were only two palms left on site – the landscape architect provided input on the siting of the new house and was able to shape the exterior spaces with respect to the geometry of the architecture, emphasizing the link between the interior and exterior living spaces.
