This is a hillside Oakland home with a lot of land. The architecture is modern and striking so the owners want the landscape to reflect the same aesthetic. There are 3 distinct areas; the front yard, the main studio area and the back yard. The challenge is to link all 3 areas and create a harmonious design. The owners have dogs so it is key to create a border and to allow for flow. The owners enjoy the outdoors, gardening & entertaining.
