Environmental sensitivity and sustainability By limiting the disturbance with walls and adapting the home to the hillside site, the residential garden becomes part of the natural setting. Sustainable design elements include:
The second garden, in comparison, is an expansive, promontory entertainment space. The design program anticipated large gatherings of the owners’ friends. With frequent afternoon rains, the space is designed to include the possibility of tenting the entire yard. A cascading wall of water forms the backdrop to the garden, disappearing suddenly into quiet reflecting pools, one of which also functions as a recreational spa. A separate, geometric pool of shallow water is located in the center of the courtyard. From the promontory above, this plane provides a mirror to the dramatic ever changing sky. The promontory garden is elevated above the surrounding landscape to celebrate the dramatic views at the very edge of the skyline.
