Residential    

Residential projects add an intimate dimension to the portfolio of work in the office. MVLA’s residential work reflects our ability to seamlessly weave a variety of architectural, historic, and cultural traces with the landscape into a contemporary, evocative whole. We enjoy the process of discovery with our clients and find that simple challenges can shift the desires and perception of one’s place outside the walls of the home. Improved grading and drainage can lead to a lyrical restructuring of natural site conditions and an improved relationship of building to site. Our skill at articulating both details and larger site systems combine to create landscapes that are intimate and communicate refined expressions of living.
