Translated from Italian, ‘Il Nostro Sogno’ means ‘Our Dream.’ The clients sought to marry classic Italian style with modern Hollywood glam throughout the project. The landscape design for the house was modeled after the famous Parker Hotel in Palm Springs, a favorite travel destination and site of their wedding ceremonies.

The team worked with the clients and architect to site the house to take advantage of the irregular pie-shaped lot and stringent setback requirements. The house was positioned to create a unique entry arrival and à la hotel or resort, and to maximize usable outdoor space for a large formal lawn, future pool, and pool house. The house design was developed to create a series of connected terrace spaces throughout the exterior of the home that seamlessly links the house to the landscape. The house and landscape become a place of respite from the daily hustle and bustle of the city.
