A wood privacy screen separates the hinoki tub from the toilet. A bamboo privacy screen serves as a foil for a small Zen garden outside the windows of the tub area.

Even if low, the plantings help frame the entrance. Flowers provide pollen and nectar for insects and butterflies. Grasses and seed heads provide food and nesting materials for birds. And, once established, these plants are far more economical in terms of water than the lawn that used to be there.

The large sculptural frames serve both as a mode of screening from the street, and as shelves for pots and decorative elements. The space below the new wall was planted with some favorite trees, agaves and sun-loving perennials.
