beverly_hills_austin (3,13)

An integration of Texas native vegetation, materials + terrain with fabricated elements consistent to the Mexican Modern style of this Austin, Texas home in the Beverly Hills neighborhood.
Project Cost: $25,001 - $50,000
Entrance to the property is made crossing a dry creek via a steel threshold. A fountainhead directs water visibly below the steel grate, then along the plazuela + along an slightly elevated runnel. -- S Shelton

The steel grate threshold terminates at the garden's central plazuela, surfaced with large limestone pavers set into finely crushed limestone. -- S Shelton

Water rolls down along the edge of the steel-lined plazuela (little plaza) + tumbles into a 24" water main pipe, ground to serve as a fountain basin. -- S Shelton
