Big Rocks! — SOLDANO | LUTH BLOG
http://blog.soldanoluth.com/standard-blog/2016/5/19/big-rocks
Back to: Main Site. Back to: Main Site. June 03, 2016. We often place rocks in our terrace designs to end a linear movement or accentuate that same linear movement. We place them to create a focal point or we use them to help modify a change in the slope. Because boulders are common in the northwest, having been deposited about by rivers and glaciers, they have a nice connection to our natural environment. Rocks uncovered from the site are often utilized in the design. About Soldano Luth Blog. Mar 3, 2017.

The common use of the whitewash helps create cohesiveness as well as keeping the buildings cooler. When selecting colors, we try to work with what colors are nearby. Here the building blends well with the surrounding landscape.
