Space Open Studio

Bobby & Erica were wonderful to work with for our East Bay yard renovation. We approached Space Open with much of our hardscape renovation complete and needed help with soft scape design and planting. The team was sensitive to our needs, existing structures, and the aesthetic we sought. They proposed a mix of California, Australian, and South African natives and turned around plans that helped visualize the end result. Deliverables were all on time and to budget, and we are thrilled with the result. Now ~6 months after planting, neighbors walk by and say "thank you for bringing this to our street!" And the garden only gets better with time.

Working with Bobby at Space Open Studios was an absolute dream. They completely transformed my outdoor space using beautiful native plants that not only look stunning but also thrive naturally in the environment. From the very beginning, they listened to my ideas, shared thoughtful recommendations, and designed a landscape that feels both modern and deeply connected to nature. What impressed me most was their attention to detail — every plant was chosen with purpose, creating a space that feels harmonious year-round. The project was delivered on time, communication was clear, and the craftsmanship is truly top notch. My home now has curb appeal I never imagined possible, and I constantly get compliments from neighbors and friends. If you’re looking for a landscape architect who is knowledgeable, creative, and passionate about sustainable design, I cannot recommend Space Open Studios enough.

Open Space, and specifically Bobby and Gita, were incredible to work with. We did a full redesign of the outdoor space of our Eichler property in Terra Linda, and they maintained the perfect balance between nodding to the history of the place while creating something cool and new. The design speaks for itself. Behind the scenes, Gita and Bobby were excellent communicators, professionals, and creatives.
