Tudor Gardens: Concept 2

The second concept of Tudor Gardens is also formal but it integrates contemporary elements such as diagonal lines, acute angles, and recycled crushed glass. The prophetic glass was inspired by the existing greenhouse in the rear garden. This material is repeated in the front garden, where it flanks the main path with ribbons of New Zealand Flax that are reminiscent of the classic Tudor bands of the house.

Tudor Gardens: Concept 1

Tudor Gardens was a schematic design project for a residence in San Francisco. The first concept was a formal design influenced by the axes of the house. The formal design is seasoned by moments of informality, especially in the naturalistic planting of the front garden.

Christmas in Yosemite National Park

Christmas 2010 was very special. I could not have asked for a better holiday than to spend it with my parents in Yosemite National Park. Luckily, it snowed on Christmas night and the morning after was the most spectacular.
