A covered patio extension is designed to look like it's always been part of the main residence and blend into the older landscape beyond. It features a mid-century fireplace, outdoor heaters, rustic wood beams, and plenty of patio space for furniture.

We decided to position the fire pit seating area in the only shady corner of the back yard. The flagstones surrounded by Dymondia groundcover lead you through the trellis soon to be covered with Bougainvillea vines into this cozy, colorful, outdoor 'room.' The owners chose comfortable swivel chairs and a fire table to relax and entertain in.

Our Cole Valley clients have lived in their Edwardian home for many years, and have a large garden with established trees, they were looking for a redefinition and reorganization in their outdoor living space. We developed three distinct areas for them to explore, relax and entertain. Contrasting color, movement and texture, and repeating patterns throughout unify the garden’s relaxed turn of the century cottage style. Starting with a shady fern garden anchored by two Garrya elliptica, a decomposed granite path meanders through a garden full of strong, architectural forms of Mangaves, Agaves, Phormiums and grasses. Dry stone walls of varying heights along the path lead to an enclosed third garden with a larger seating area, bathed in sun and rich with hues of burgundy, maroon, and shades of pink and chocolate.

This outdoor public prayer garden was thoughtfully designed as a peaceful space for reflection and gathering. The focal point of the park is a striking 12-foot cross, serving as a meaningful centerpiece for the garden. The space includes custom 10-foot benches and 6-foot tables, providing ample seating for prayer, fellowship, and small group gatherings. The entire area is finished with decomposed granite, creating a natural, low-maintenance surface that blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape while completing the park’s tranquil and welcoming atmosphere.
