This Award winning garden is located in the Berkeley Hills and sits adjacent the owners' home. Meant to be used as an outdoor extension to the house, it weaves hardscape and landscape into a sensory journey second to none.

Adorned with honeysuckle, roses and citrus trees, its intoxicating scents, blown in by the bay winds, are mixed with the sound of water and the laughter of their children to provide unshakable memories. A full bathroom and a fireplace allow the garden to be used year round, nurtured by reclaimed water.
