This city garden is a quiet celebration of sustainable urban landscape design. It is a unique and multi-dimensional response to an small city lot, an extensive client program and the desire to do good work. Our intent was to imagine and design a sophisticated and visibly sustainable city garden in San Francisco.

This space may be small, but it lives large with a seating area, a charming water feature and a multitude of plantings. Water gives a sense of movement, and the lime-color plants add brightness to a shady corner.
Structuring garden rooms. The strength of compartmentalizing lies in combining the strong structure of hard landscaping with soft plantings. It's evident even in this most modern of garden layouts.
A bird's-eye view of an intimate courtyard garden allows us to see where shapes and masses interrelate with perfect harmony. First you notice the rectangular stepping stones and deck shapes, then the three-dimensional versions emerge in the Cor-Ten planter box (left) and the poured-concrete planter (right). The decorative fountain wall infuses another mass into the scheme. While this environment is small in scale, it feels voluminous. Add one more shape: the curved chaise, a graceful footnote to all the geometry here.
