Auto Museum
Larkspur, Marin County

The landscape of this private car museum is designed to compliment the building’s Mediterranean motif with the use of soft colors, informal materials and drought tolerant plantings. A substantial overhead trellis marks the entry to the building which is surrounded by warmly colored concrete, decomposed granite paving, terra cotta pots, olive trees, lavender and roses. Stately Italian Cypress echos the scale of the architecture while Broadleaf evergreen screen trees and shrubs are strategically located to provide privacy from a busy street.
