PRIVATE RESIDENCE

San Marino, California

 

An elegant driveway comprised of large, dry-laid antiqued paver in tatami mat layout speaks to the character of this extraordinary home and garden.

 

With the main door to the home hidden from view, the front yard is designed as a modern Asian-styled garden with a series of walkways each having special character.  A strong sense of arrival is achieved by  passage over a small garden bridge, dry creek and a reflecting pond at the front door.

 

A pre-existing traditional Asian garden will be salvaged and re-built at the rear of the house once the structure is completed.

 

Custom perimeter walls, a swimming pool, fire pit, patio, strolling garden, and a kitchen garden with heirloom fruit trees complete the rear portion of the property.
