The landscape architecture design of the ICONIC HAUS 2020 is inspired by the modern minimalist architecture of the home. The main focus of the design is to not overpower the sophisticated architecture, but rather to compliment with striking broad strokes of massing plant material.

The developer requested a lush non-desert plant palette for the Cameldale community, so vibrant bushes and grasses were selected. Accents of Aloes and Hesperaloes are used for their striking architectural form. Low-growing trees were carefully selected so that coveted views from the community are unobstructed. Sour orange hedges surround each lot and will grow 10 to 12 feet and provide privacy and security while also offering a lush green backdrop to the outdoor living.

The landscape design optimizes the indoor/outdoor living that is so beloved in the Valley. White porcelain concrete pavers seamlessly extend from the glass sliding doors to the exterior living areas. A large outdoor lounge and fireplace is the perfect space for outdoor entertaining. A state-of-the-art outdoor kitchen is surrounded by multiple seating options including the expansive fire table.
