Roche + Roche Landscape Architecture

At ROCHE+ROCHE Landscape Architecture, we create quiet landscapes of subtle beauty. Our landscapes are designed to enhance the restorative effect of a subtly shifting natural environment, a phenomenon known as “soft fascination.” We practice the mantra of ‘unify…simplify…amplify,’ editing out the unnecessary and celebrating the distinctive and powerful. We invite our clients to engage in a design relationship that begins the day we meet, and continues through design, construction and beyond, to ensure the long-term success of their landscape. We take the time to understand the inherent character of each site, studying the existing features, views, drainage patterns, climate, soils and vegetation, and applying sound environmental practices to ensure sustainable designs that create habitat and encourage beneficial wildlife. We get to know the way our clients live in their homes and on the land so we can create landscapes that elevate their experiences and enhance their lives. We work closely with talented architects, interior designers, engineers and builders to create seamless environments that reflect the architecture and respect the site. We bring our rural contemporary vision to projects throughout Northern California, ranging from residential estates to wineries and resorts. Our office, established in 2005, is based in Sonoma, California, and provides landscape architectural design, documentation and construction phase support services for public and private projects. Our services include site analysis, site planning, conceptual/schematic design/master planning, design development, public presentation, construction documentation, construction phase support, horticultural consultation and plant procurement. At any given time, R+R has 15-20 projects in various stages of design and construction. Recently completed projects include the RH Yountville gallery and restaurant for Restoration Hardware, and Hirondelle House, the new tasting room for Clos du Val Winery.
