Zeterre Landscape Architecture

Zeterre Landscape Architecture Landscape Architects creating sumptuous gardens. Curators of fine antiques/furnishings which blur the lines between indoor&out! Soon floral creations!

Zeterre Landscape Architecture was founded with a focus on creating unique outdoor ambiance and innovative design for exclusive homes. Always site specific and architecturally appropriate, each garden that Zeterre creates is an expression of the homeowner, the architecture, and the interiors of the building. Our goal is to make all of these important elements flow together seamlessly with the garden.

A wind room built from stainless steel and glass sits in the middle of over two hundred plant species, and the reason is simple. Fire needs stillness. People need air. We designed both into the same space, so the flame stays lit while the ornamental grasses just beyond the glass keep catching the weather.

We wouldn't ask a client to live without plants and then come to work in a bare room. That felt hypocritical. So from the moment we got this office, we went all in.

Zen gardens reveal themselves through restriction. You see one thing, then the next, then the next. We borrowed that principle but refused its austerity, pairing a torii gate with Ensete ventricosum, flagstone steps with Crocosmia, Italian cypress with pink Hydrangea.

People sometimes ask what we design first, the plants or the structure. The answer is neither. We design the feeling.

Columnar evergreens holding a strict vertical line while loose broad canopy softens everything around them, that tension between discipline and wildness is the feeling.

At Classic Villa Abdullah the arched loggia does something we think about constantly. It compresses your view into a framed sequence of garden rooms, so you experience the courtyard the way you might turn pages, one composed scene giving way to the next as you move through the colonnade.

We're always running about 60 projects at once around the world and our studio on Divisadero reflects that energy. Five in schematic design right now, the rest spread across construction and everything in between. Two cats, a dog, and a team that genuinely loves what they do. We recently shot a lot more of this world. Stay close.

A stone dome, a bronze vessel, and the silence of Carmel Valley. The courtyard fountain at this vineyard estate was designed to hold stillness, not announce it. The deciduous trees behind it will fill in by late summer.

With the autumn equinox comes a quiet shift in how the light moves. We choreographed these ornamental grasses to catch the late sun at this precise seasonal angle, holding the warmth at the feet of the coast oaks while the air slowly starts to cool.

Every single line we put down is structured and classical, but the feeling it creates should be anything but rigid. Golden grasses softening rough stacked stone, sea lavender spilling purple against flagstone, a bold sculpture held inside the planting. Discipline and wildness, held together.

Most people photograph pines in winter, when the architecture shows. But this is the more interesting season, when staminate cones crowd the terminal bud and the whole branch is visibly deciding what shape it wants to become next.
