Creating Privacy

in Presidio Terrace

The prompt for this garden was to create a calming retreat; balanced and private with modern details and structure. An existing tall evergreen hedge and incense cedar set the stage and provided greenery and privacy. Other than this, the interior was a blank slate.

A central focal point draws the eye across a patchwork of hardscapes, colors, and textures. The bespoke curved cedar bench was meticulously crafted on-site.

The grid system extends beyond the turf area, projecting throughout the black limestone patio.

Whether entertaining a big group or soaking in the hot tub for two, the simple material palette of cedar, limestone, and turf provide a calming backdrop.
