The Fowling residence benefits from its hillside location above the beach in Playa Del Rey LA. “All” we had to do as the Architect was put the windows in the right place 😂. Our client, a talented collaborator in the design, enjoys the view here on the regular from the “bridge” of the kitchen.

Big Timber Garden; Big Timber, MT

Montana’s famously expansive and dynamic skies suggested a design for this vacation home that is about large yet subtle gestures. Stone monoliths, laid together in an informal-yet-contemporary way, create a terrace seating area next to the house designed by Hughes Umbanhowar architects.

The seemingly preexistent plant compositions mask the hand of the designer and encourage habitat creation for local fauna.

Before and After views of our garden in Big Sky Country.

Jungles designed the lake, keeping the gnarled Cottonwood by creating an island. The pedestrian entry transitions from stone and grass jointed pavers to a 34-foot-long floating stone slab that rests on a steel beam and gabion system just below the water’s surface.

Boulders that Jungles hand-selected and sourced on-site are placed in natural formations along the lake’s edge, some for seating and others to enter and exit the water.

Following a well deserved holiday break from an industrious 2021 we wanted to share a sample of our projects completed, started and in the works from the past year. We can’t wait to show more of them as the year progresses. Good things to come. Happy 2022.
