This backyard concept for a family in Berkeley centers around flow and play.

The plant palette is filled with extra-sensory species to delight their young daughter - from the fuzzy, scented leaves of a peppermint geranium to the Dr. Seuss-like flowers of grevillea. Generous wood decks allow for flexible entertaining, yoga, and a secret sandbox. Organic material and abstract forms shape a landscape that is at once whimsical and grounding.
