This newly constructed ‘farmhouse’ had an overgrown city landscape just begging to be cultivated. Today, two almond trees flank the parking strip, while plums, blueberries, raspberries, grapes, herbs and flowers overflow the courtyard garden. A split cedar fence is the perfect rustic backdrop, an inspiration that drove the client to cover every picket with an aluminum can! Raised beds built from dry-stack stone define and contain this urban farmstead, while drip irrigation and rainwater harvesting help keep the landscape watered in a low-impact way.

The gooseberry grows 4 feet high, bears 5 to 7 pounds every year, is as large as grapes and sometimes considered a substitute. It has thorns so one sometimes uses gloves to pick. There are over 1000 varieties and many have disease issues. I have consistently grown excellent fruit without intervention of any sort with the varieties I've come to know. Here we have Lepaan Red a Scotish variety

The client’s wish was to create an old world Tuscany looking wine cellar in an adjoining empty space near their basement bar area. All the racking materials and cabinets were made with natural all heart redwood and seeded glass inserts were used for the redwood framed upper doors. An existing wine barrel was converted into a working bar sink and grape vine decorative hardware was added to doors and drawers. Existing barn wood materials were used on the walls and ceiling and redwood plank inserts we added in between the floor tiles for an aged look. The custom made artisan-made metal and glass entry doors completed the look. Designed by Bill Curran for Closet Organizing Systems

The Oregon Grape hedges will fill with these bright blue berries in summer. They can be so plentiful, they nearly eclipse its leaves! It fall, it's glossy, holly-like leaves turn shades of yellow, red and mahogany. Photo: Lesly Hall Photography, Summer 2019

The strong light coming through this window highlights the visual texture of the glass that John Espinola used to build it. The center glass is clear textured, the red showing through is from a Japanese Maple just outside the window. John installed his window over the existing clear glass one so it can be removed if necessary. Photo by Theresa Brandt
