Born and raised in New Jersey, Katharine Webster is an internationally recognized landscape designer based in San Francisco, California. She is an expert at finding outdoor design solutions that fit the needs and complement the lifestyles of her clients, transforming gardens, terraces, hardscapes, and balconies into the client’s sylvan oasis. Katharine goes beyond transforming outdoor spaces—she expertly unifies indoor/outdoor environments, seamlessly integrating art into landscapes, creating places that have an emotional effect on those who inhabit them.
Expertly tying together unlikely tones, textures, and themes. Each design emphasizes utility, comfort, and fun, resulting in exotic combinations for an enhanced outdoor lifestyle. Drawing from her unique variety of influences, each project is approached with an innovative, multi-disciplinary thought process that allows for mindful reimaginings of “nature’s living rooms.”
A project that is extremely near to Katharine Webster’s heart, this beloved 1890s family Adirondack camp is located in Thousand Islands, Canada. After 40 years, it received a much-needed waterfront upgrade. A skiff house for boat storage and a new deck layout were designed for overall enjoyment and ease of daily routines.
With a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, this Spanish styled estate features a courtyard with Moorish curves and coiffed foliage grounds that help bring a touch of Europe’s café lifestyle to this terracotta capped Sea Cliff home.
This San Francisco Designer Showcase project transformed a chicken coop and dog house into a contemplative experience by subdividing the space into four sections—each designed to represent a particular season of life.
