Hey.. thanks for the great question. (comments always welcome)

Here is the answer from Nick Hodges:

We do have one conifer tree in the landscape but focused on deciduous trees to take advantage of views and especially enhanced light quality in the winter months. We also have a fair amount of deciduous vegetation such as bamboo, strawberry tree and various evergreen shrubs and ground cover that once they get established will be more substantial and visible for the winter months.
