SF VIEW - FROM THE TOP OF TANK HILL IN SAN FRANCISCO THIS TERRACED LANDSCAPE CREATES A SAFE HAVEN FROM THE CITY SOUNDS.
THIS IS A STRONG HOUSE. HOW DO WE GET TO IT GRACEFULLY? THE FRONT STAIRS BECAME A JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY AT EACH LEVEL AND TURN; THE COLORFUL SUCCULENTS, THE BLACK PLANTER TO WORK WITH THE HOUSE COLORS, A LITTLE STREAM, A FOUNTAIN, A BENCH TO REST AND CONTEMPLATE, A LIVING WALL. COLOR IN ALL SEASONS. HOPEFULLY ONE WOULD BE A LITTLE CALMER FROM A BUSY DAY WHEN REACHING THE FRONT DOOR. WE WENT SHOPPING AT THE NURSERY FOR INSPIRATION, AND THEN THERE THEY WERE; THE BOXWOOD BALLS!! WHAT A GREAT WAY TO CELEBRATE THE PRECISE STRAIGHT LINE GREY GEOMETRY OF THE WALLS THAN WITH GREEN GLOBES.
