Landscape atelier · Sausalito
Gardens that hold still.
We design landscapes to be inhabited slowly — courtyards, meadows, coastal ground.
The studio
Solenne works at the scale of a garden, a court, a field. We start with what is already there — soil, trees, wind, the way a room meets the ground — and edit until the place can keep its quiet.
Selected work
Recent ground
2021 · Ojai, California
Olive Court
A walled courtyard rebuilt around three existing olives. Gravel, a low fountain, terracotta that already knew the light.
2023 · Hudson Valley, New York
The Quiet Meadow
Ten acres returned to native meadow, with a timber pavilion at the tree line. Mowing paths, not lawn.
2020 · Bainbridge Island, Washington
Cedar Walk
A woodland path opened through existing cedars. Moss kept, understory edited, a stone bench where the light pools.
The atelier
A small studio, a long table.
We are six people in Sausalito. Drawings on oak, plants in the window, stone samples in trays. We take on a handful of projects each year so the work can stay close to the ground.
