In designing this garden I have created a contemporary residential garden in a typical San Francisco backyard. Atop the sloped garden, which is traversed by a series of circular step-landings, is a simple façade that evokes the back of a Victorian home. The style might be described as “Rustic Modern” as I have incorporated geometric shapes and modern materials such as Plexiglas with traditional stonework and non-rigid placement. My favorite element is that the main landing, at the entry to the garden, is pierced by a pie wedge of Plexiglas under which water runs.
