Cavalleri, a 68-unit luxury condominium in Malibu, is working to combat the continual drought in California by reintroducing native plants into its landscape. San Francisco-based real estate manager Pacific Eagle Holdings has partnered with internationally recognized landscape architect Pamela Burton to reimagine the surrounding 10 acres by paying homage to the site’s history, ecology and geography. By removing non-native plants and replacing them with local varieties, the site is able to use less water and resources to help them survive.

“Our goal is to create a series of gardens as outdoor rooms that are composed, inviting, and well-proportioned with interesting plant materials,” said Burton. Committed to sustainable landscape design, her plan includes species such as California Sycamore, Meyer Lemon, Crape Myrtle, Eureka Lemon, Coral Bark Maple and California Pepper Tree. The wellness-focused property will also include a 52-foot swimming pool, outdoor dining pavilion, yoga terrace, two tennis courts, dog parks and a meditation a for residents.

In addition to a refreshed exterior, the condos are being remodeled to become more open and airy, adding spa quality bathrooms and state-of-the-art kitchens. The project has a focus on sustainability, saving as much of the existing structure as possible. Two- and three-bedroom residences will range in size from 1,577 square feet to over 2,200 square feet. The first stage of the property’s renovation is scheduled to be completed in early 2017.
