Working with a steep slope, multiple layers and perspectives create the sense of a larger area to wander while also offering the intimacy of space where the owners can tend to and stroll amongst their growing collection of beloved flowering plants. An outdoor kitchen pavilion perched atop the hill reflects the architectural style of the home and offers a destination within the garden.  Stepped retaining walls and plantings that mimic the topography of the area as well as squared geometry balanced by soft curving walkways and a cascading waterfall creates a dynamic sanctuary in the hills.
