Monica was part of a select design team entrusted with shaping the vision of this distinctive Hope Ranch estate, which subtly nods to Versace-inspired aesthetics. Collaborating closely with the original homeowners, she played a key role in translating their ambitions into a sophisticated and cohesive landscape. Partnered with Denise Perry in a design-build role until 2001, and working alongside Landscape Development Inc., Monica led the conceptual development and construction oversight of several defining features of the 2.9-acre oceanfront property. Her contributions include the Asian Garden, Potager and Vineyard, Herb Garden, Boxwood Parterres, multiple fountains, the Rose Arbor, and the Entry Court—graced by eight 72-inch box Swan Hill Olive trees—among many other refined elements that give the estate its enduring character.
