This new build home provided lots of microclimates for our team to explore with plants adapted to the site conditions. On the green roof, we included dynamic grasses, sedums, cactus and yucca that would thrive in the intense heat and relentless sun. Below the drawbridge entrance, we filled the space with facultative grasses, perennials and sedges. We developed a site-specific prairie seed mix for erosion control due to the site’s steep grade. Given the variability of the site conditions, we were able to use an eclectic palette of plants that compliment the austere concrete home.
