A layered design with many vantage points to view a breathtaking sculpture held in prominence at the end of a tunnel trellis.

BEFORE - Upper level patio with a wall of bamboo ready for demolition to make way for the new design.

BEFORE - The view of weeds and bamboo from mid-level of the property looking upslope.

BEFORE - Untapped potential, a view from mid-level downslope.

Travertine, Boston Ivy, and unique sculptures and bust accentuate the pool and lounge area.

Moving from the upper pool deck down into the garden area.

The dining patio with one-of-a-kind table and a first look at the trellis and sculpture. Stairs lead back up to the pool and house.

A trellis shrine to the sculpture made from iron, wisteria, and small accent lights. The contrasts of light and dark, soft and hard, strong and whimsical create depth in the space and mimic the beauty of the sculpture.

A grove of birch trees and another spot to enjoy the view.

Moving further into the ravine garden, a levelled sitting area with another viewpoint of the sculpture, birch, and both up to the house and down into the lower garden.

The midlevel sitting area with built-in benches, an impressive urn, and matching ironwork.

Descending to the lower patio, a look back up to toward the house with sightlines to the sculpture.

A secluded sanctuary - you could almost miss this one as it's tucked away - and perhaps the best place to relax, close your eyes, and transport yourself even if just for a moment.

The elegant stream flowing across the walkway from the upper gardens to the lower ravine.

A final look from the lower ravine garden complete with sitting area and fire pit. Sightlines up to the sculpture and upper seating areas and along with the sounds of the stream delight the senses.
