About This Project

This transformation was completed in 2006, just weeks before the 100th birthday of this, owner built, 2 story brown shingle house. During the design/build process, the site evolved from a front and back yard with no real definition to a series of seven distinct outdoor rooms that connect effortlessly to the interior of the house and to one another. This project was chosen by the city of Piedmont, CA Planning/Building Department as the “Best Outdoor Living Space” in 2007 and was featured in the Secret Gardens of the East Bay tour the following year.
