San Francisco Courtyard Garden
San francisco, CA
This artful patio garden provides a sunny outdoor perch for residents in a dense and hilly city. We worked within limited space to create a refuge that drew inspiration from the seasonal cycle of the stately Persian Walnut tree in the owner’s front yard. We designed a wall of perforated, powder coated steel panels with tree and leaf motifs. These perforated screens create visual access to the neighborhood while maintaining a cozy private dining and lounging area that is accessible from the kitchen and study. The garden is paved with black stone from India. The dark color absorbs warmth from the sun, welcome to outdoor dwellers in San Francisco’s cool coastal climate.
Collaborators on this project were Boaz Mor design and construction, and Murray Sandford of Moz Designs metal fabricators.
