The architect of the home, Drewett Brendon and Associates, set a bold sweeping wall to establish the introductory form, acting as a "portal" to the homes front entry. Building on that, Kirk Bianchi of Bianchi Design, an award winning phoenix pool builder and landscape designer, anchored a pot pedestal to ground the inviting stairs that float out to greet those that would approach, and set a Palo Brea tree to cast dynamic shadow play across the face of the wall. Ornate but transparent iron gates give one a glimpse of the entry court fountain beyond, leading one to the front entry experience. Michaelwoodall.com
