Project Description
The terrace is divided geometrically into patios, swimming pool and spa tub, a thyme lawn, and a dining patio under a light gray powder coated aluminum arbor, which captures views of both San Francisco and Mount Tamalpais. Simple plantings of Mexican feather grass and two crepe myrtle trees complete the composition. The paving is Argentinian porphyry, precisely cut in two foot squares, and carefully laid with precisely aligned joints, adding to the sense of geometry and organization within the space. The pool and spa are edged with a gray glass tile that matches the paving, making this a truly contemporary garden.
