Beyond the Bay

Katherine Field and Associates transforms a cliffside property overlooking the bay into a dynamic family compound that honors its natural surroundings. Designed to accommodate the active lifestyle of a large family, the landscape includes tennis, pickleball, bocce, and basketball courts, a golf green, a pool, and two spas, all balanced with stretches of native plantings and low-maintenance synthetic turf. Field’s artistry lies in blending function with meaning: illuminated glass pavers designed with Duncan Laurie radiate geometric light, pool and spa lighting reflect celestial moments tied to the family’s life, and curated sculptures and lighting create an atmosphere of discovery. A fire circle anchored by granite stonework offers a serene gathering place with direct views to the bay, while soothing plantings of greens, blues, and whites harmonize the gardens with the home and coastline.
