The gardens of this Alameda project were phase two of the previous house renovation. The rear of the house overlooks a three-tiered garden leading down to a boat dock replete with hot tub and seating. An intermediate-level outdoor room features a built-in bench and lounge area for gatherings. The spacious layout works perfectly for socially distant entertaining. One level up, a wall of raked Ipe wood boards conceals an outdoor shower. It's great for giving the dog a good scrubbing. In the front garden, poured concrete pavers wrap around Corten steel planters showcasing low-water plants with rich colors.
