French regency estate

san marino.ca.usa

William Hefner Architects created this Classic French Regency Residence in 2004 to replace an existing demolished residence. The estate is located in an old established neighborhood adjacent to the Huntington Library. In late 2005 GH garden designs was contracted to complete the gardens

The garden reflects the French Garden style created at Château Vaux le Vicomte in 1661, the inspiration for the gardens at Versailles for King Louis XIV. The garden design incorporates a central axis entrance walkway that leads across a gravel motor court to a raised terrace and entry portal. The rear garden is entered through a Veranda created in the style of the Orangery at Versailles accented with twelve foot tall Eugenia spirals in formal planters

The pool set into the lawn runs parallel to the residence much like the Grand Canal at Vicomte. A wall fountain and trellis-works adorn the walls of the carriage-house and pool-pavilion. A grand staircase leads from the pool to the upper terrace framed by Juniper spirals set in formal planters. The upper terrace takes on a less formal woodsy feeling with a California Live Oak creating and umbrella over the whimsical garden chess set

The garden design plantings, primarily white and green, deviate from the French garden style, while borrowing from the English garden style created in Vita Sackville-West’s garden at Sissinghurst, England. All of these garden designs elements combine to make up the formal classic gardens of this French Regency Residence
