Koi pond in between decks. Pergola and decking are redwood. Concrete pillars under the steps for support. There are ample space in between the supporting pillars for koi fish to swim by, provides cover from sunlight and possible predators. Koi pond filtration is located under the wood deck, hidden from sight. The water fall is also a biological filtration (bakki shower). Pond water volume is 5500 gallon. Artificial grass and draught resistant plants were used in this yard.

The mahogany was chosen 20 years ago for its sustainability and beauty. It is less fire resistant than other woods. Photo: Steve Gunther for Sunset Magazine.

Gravel beach and BBQ patio creating an elegant outdoor living environment with a biologically managed, chemical free pond system.

Located in the Bowden Ranch neighborhood of suburban San Luis Obispo, this custom single family residence sits adjacent to the biological open space preserve. The steep slope of the site and the relatively small building envelope presented a unique design challenge. In order to maximize views to the locally iconic Bishop Peak, the main living spaces were situated on top of a subterranean garage. Large 9’ mitered windows offer unobstructed views, while soffited overhangs provide necessary shade. Taking advantage of the site conditions, this home also features a subterranean wine cellar and movie theater. Above, the open floor plan and rear deck are ideal for entertaining and enjoying the natural wonders of the biological preserve.
