Coyote Circle
An exterior residential facade precedent exemplifying Mediterranean-influenced single-story massing, integrating white stucco, clay roof tiles, and immersive landscape entry design.
- What we like about this project
- The central mature olive tree acts as a focal architectural element that softens the low facade.

- Atmosphere
- Serene, welcoming, and firmly rooted in its lush garden context.
- Environmental context
- Suburban residential lot surrounded by mature trees, palms, and dense Mediterranean-style garden landscaping.
- Spatial experience
- Approached via a meandering gravel garden path that leads past lush native plantings into a sheltered, human-scaled entry threshold.
