Under Construction: Temecula Wine Country Residence

Current Residential project under construction in the Temecula Wine Country. This is a third of an acre residence that is having a complete landscape renovation front to back. We received approvals this week to start digging the new pool after rain and snow delays throughout the holidays. We can't wait to move forward and start to see this yard transform into an amazing outdoor space.

Family Collaboration, Corona Del Mar Residence

I just completed the Concept Design for this residence in collaboration with my VERY talented brother, Jeff Anderson, Architect. Its so great to be able to complete a project with my brother. Something we have talked about and our parents for years since completing college together at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Jeff had started a 3D model for the project, so I completed the model with the landscape concept that was presented to the client. I look forward to seeing this project built!

Irvine Residence

I completed a landscape renovation in March for a residence in the Turtle Rock Community of Irvine. The residence's courtyard entry is the main outdoor space for the property, as it sits on a hill overlooking Orange County. I designed this project with an Asian Woodland Garden consisting of Magnolias, Japanese Maples, Mondo Grasses, Hosta and Flowering Maple. This project went through HOA submittal and approval processes and is definitely a stand out property in the neighborhood now.

Before and After Images

Coastal OC Concept

I am currently working on a concept for a Coastal Orange County residence. It's a renovation of an existing residence that was built in the 1960's. Below are the beginnings of the Sketch Up Model for the main entertaining space and image board.

Landscape REdesign for LEED

This past year we studied an existing building in San Bernardino County for Simpson Strong-Tie to determine how we could achieve LEED Silver, reduce water usage and make a significant change in how the 18-acre property was being maintained. The concept phase also included redesign on the property entrance and employee patio areas. The following graphics were initial concept studies for the proposed changes to the site. The existing property has been purchased and is moving forward with improvements phase by phase.

Affordable Housing Project in Northern California

KMB Design recently completed construction drawings for an Affordable housing project in Northern California. The site is located in Pittsburg, California which is in the East Bay portion of the San Francisco Bay. We worked with Meridian Modular Homes of San Diego to create an affordable housing site within the City. The project is already under construction.

This was a great opportunity to design within the Northern California plant palette which will provide much more intense fall color than Southern California. The site included large Camphor Trees on the corner anchoring the site and also within the site for shade at the BBQ and Play Areas. The rest of the palette included Rotundiloba Sweetgum providing some bright red fall color, Maytens Tree and Natchez Crape Myrtle which will be a prolific white blooming tree with some amazing fall color as well.
