Built
There is no reason that budget, space or even being a renter should prevent anyone from creating a little garden to love. On this little roof deck in San Francisco's Liberty Hill neighborhood, I worked with the client's existing planters to reestablish a living, vibrant, low maintenance garden. She has since moved, and luckily, was able to take her garden with her. Now off to recycle and re-imagine a space for her once more.
The years I spent at Meyer + Silberberg were great: I can never say enough good things about that firm and the people there. Here are a few selected images from some of the projects I worked on as a designer, draftperson and renderer from 2004-2008.
This small project was a wonderful exercise in editing for me while I was working at Meyer + Silberberg. We discovered beautiful existing tree ferns hiding in a bramble of overgrown camellias and rhododendrons, and relocated others from elsewhere on the property. By simplifying the palette and removing the visual clutter, we were able to bring some strength and clarity to the front yard of this beautiful Piedmont home.
Third Nature provided design services for the PCCD Offices in Los Altos, California. Selected pavements were all high albedo (to reduce heat island effect) and plants selected were low water, low maintenance species.
