Project
Gordon Residence
Location
San Francisco, CA
Description
Redesign of front and rear gardens to create intimate spaces that invite contemplation and a place for respite with lush and varied plantings. The heart of the new front garden is an oblong brick patio with an inset basket weave pattern of bricks set on sand to allow for rainwater infiltration.
