This was the case for Mike and Bridget Rodden, whose Seattle home, with views of Lake Washington and the surrounding neighborhood, was situated on a steep hillside with no yard. The challenges: a front entrance, perched 20 feet above street level, that was hidden from view and had no curb presence; and, thanks to a steep slope, an awkward connection between the home and the outdoor space. To solve the landscape problems, the couple hired Wittman Estes Architecture + Landscape, a Seattle-based firm that believes "buildings and landscapes can be combined into one interconnected whole." Here's how they transformed the property into a terraced garden perfect for entertaining and lounging. Photography by Miranda Estes, courtesy of Wittman Estes. Above: The house now has curb appeal thanks to new retaining walls and stairs. Billowing grasses greet visitors as they walk up the steps. Above: A new street-level custom mailbox clearly announces the house's presence. Steel and concrete steps lead the way to the front door. Above: The steps are bracketed by 3-foot-tall carbon steel planters planted with Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola' Japanese Forest Grass. (For a similar plant, see Gardening 101: Japanese Sweet Flag Grass.) Above: In the back of the house, the kitchen and dining area opens out onto an ipe hardwood deck that steps down to a larger outdoor living room below. Above: The multi-level lounge areas in the backyard provide ample opportunity to relax alone or host guests and include the deck, a hammock area (at left), and a sunken courtyard living room (at right), Above: A mix of grasses—including Liriope muscari 'Big Blue' Lily Turf, Nassella tenuissima Mexican Feather Grass, and Maiden Grass—creates a soft and textured look. Above: The courtyard's pavers are precast Narrow Modular Pavers from Stepstone. Above: The courtyard is enclosed by plate steel retaining walls and ipe wood benches, and anchored by a fire pit.

The concrete fire pit was designed by Wittman Estes. Above: The cushions are made with Sunbrella textiles by La Fabrique.
