Katharine Webster Inc. San Francisco-based landscape design firm, specializing in the custom creation of outdoor living exp

Bringing East Coast sophistication to the West Coast wild, one’s more likely to find this CEO amongst the succulents, than in a boardroom. With a degree in Environmental Sculpture, and a Masters degree in Landscape Architecture from Harvard, Katharine Webster is transforming the way we experience outdoor living. Her vision of what exterior design should entail, mixed with a passion for innovative product creation, has led her on a mission to forever blur the lines between interior and alfresco living spaces. Whether influenced by her international upbringing, a brief stint on Wall Street or her apprenticeship with famed sculptor Jackie Winsor, this beguiling nature enthusiast relishes in finding elegant solutions to tricky situations. "In order to realize my vision, if I need a certain table or chair, which has yet to exist on the market, I simply create and produce them. Fulfillment of the creative process is the veranda of freedom." Forever flourishing, Katharine is an expert at bringing unlikely tones, textures and themes together, making for amazing visual feasts, where utility, comfort, and fun are always key ingredients to her expression. This unique ability to draw from many influences and create exotic combinations, has manifest itself through her firm, which specializes in re-imagining nature's living rooms, by using an innovative, multi- disciplinary approach. Like her awe inspiring environmental sculptures, Katharine Webster is truly a one of a kind, who has risen like a sunflower to become a leader in the outdoor living revolution.

It’s the challenge of working in a confined space that makes the result so rewarding.
Despite the spatial limitations of this property in the heart of San Francisco, we created a serene spot for reading or intimate conversation, an enchanted winding pathway to invite exploration, and enough open space room for entertaining a large group.

Friday fun day: What kid doesn’t dream of making a big hole in the ground?!
Seriously, it’s exciting to see plans come to fruition on a total redo of a family compound in Glen Ellen.
Angela and I love these site visits, and we always enjoy working with Oxbow Landscape Contractors!
This project, with Huang Iboshi Architecture, Saturn Construction and Regan Baker Design, is actually going to be a dream.
Stay tuned!

For our recent Stinson Beach project, we kept the plantings, benches and pathway as natural as possible.
We love the way the water is reflected in the windows. Here the raw beauty of the open ocean takes center stage.
We're so grateful to our collaborators/dream team on this project!

Take to the beach and call it work.

This project at Stinson Beach was a joy from start to finish. In a setting of such spectacular natural beauty, a garden designer’s goal is to combine appropriateness to place with minimal intrusion.

We planted new gardens on the street side and in the sheltered courtyard. On the beach side, with our new bench and the natural landscape, it’s all about the ocean.

It’s always a joy when you have a great team of collaborators. Loved working with Kasten Builders, Eichler Davies and Kendall Wilkinson on this spectacular project!

Life is better on the water!
A great example of the ‘business in the front, party in the back’ philosophy, lagoon living allows for a formal entry on the street side in contrast to relaxed living on the water.
KWI worked with interior designer Eugenia Jesberg to edit plantings to create multiple areas to relax and entertain and lead guests right down to water’s edge. Plants were selected to add color, create separation between zones and soften the edges of the hardscape.
Lagoon life means jumping in the kayak for a quick paddle while the grill is heating up, or greeting your neighbors as they arrive by boat for cocktails.
It’s informal and fun, and encapsulates the best of California coastal living.

It’s a special kind of compliment when a colleague invites you into their own home, so we were thrilled when interior designer Eugenia Jesberg asked us to help refresh her idyllic property on the Belvedere lagoon.
We often collaborate with designers, architects or builders and appreciate getting to know them on a more personal and intimate level.
In this project, we loved being allowed a glimpse into the hidden world of the Belvedere lagoon. It was particularly meaningful when we were asked to edit the plantings in preparation for her grandson’s baby shower last year.

We love maximizing the possibilities of a San Francisco backyard.
This spacious triple-tiered al fresco experience is partitioned to create a fun atmosphere with an array of entertaining possibilities and room for play.
Meals flow from the kitchen onto the heated dining loggia where customized bench seating accommodates the whole family.

Necessary hardscape — for entertaining, furniture groupings, and kids’ play — is balanced with soft edges at a transitional home in Hillsborough.
