An originative landscape design studio based in Malibu, CA.
Founded in 2022, West Malibu Studio seeks to create spaces that enhance the natural landscape we live in, and in turn reflect our connection to the world around us.
What we do
We specialize in seamlessly blending the natural beauty of the coastal environment with innovative and artistic design principles.
Site Specific Design
Site Specific construction operates under the principle that there cannot be a one size fits all approach to design. Each project offers a distinctive landscape with an inherent character. Uncovering that character whatever it may be and highlighting it is the duty of the designer.
Naturalistic Gardens
A naturalistic garden adheres to two simultaneous sets of rules; one set according to man and the other, nature. A unique blend of self sowing and long lived plants offer a prosperous outcome. Naturalistic gardens tend to look as though they have always been there, yet somehow feel manicured, maintained within boundaries.
Rewilding
Rewilding is the process of returning a cultivated area back to its natural or wild state. In terms of garden design, this can be a useful strategy for a space that requires very little attention. With geological research and a knowledge of native plants, rewilding offers a wonderful benefit to the landscape as well as native animal and insect species.
