Finding and creating balance at the entrance of this architecturally designed ranch home was the goal of the landscape design.... a balance between the built environment and the natural.... a balance between the tended garden and the wild. Three deck units were added to gently transition between inside and out. The top deck section larger and detailed to match the house. Space enough to add seating and a welcoming meet & greet space. The two lower deck, same in size and detail, transition to the hand made clay paver walk. The paver walk gently curves out in both directions and make pedestrian flow seamless. The gardens near the home are well tended and become more naturalized as they radiate out into the surrounding woods. Peaceful afternoons can drift away sitting on the deck perfectly balanced between home and landscape...

location . Ljubljana vicinity size . 5000 m2 planning . 2008 completed . 2009 A garden in an open, rural landscape shows several faces and stories. A multileveled wooded garden for summer parties in the cool of the forest. A small lake with floating wooden paths, which embrace sitting areas, a fireplace and an isle, from which one observes all different moods of nature. This garden is a romantic detail of Monets waterlilies, the light falling through the majestic trees, a piece of arcadia. Photo credits: Landscape d.o.o. Slovenija

For all of the perimeter plantings that this garden had when we first visited the site, it felt exposed with very little privacy. The existing outdoor spaces were virtually nonexistent and hence, went unused. The stairs from the house to the garden were rickety and unattractive doing nothing but transport guests from the inside to the out. As with all of my gardens, the operative goal was Sanctuary in all of it's forms. Creating the sacred from the secular, making the cold and uncomfortable into the warm and inviting. The lot on which this garden was built is one filled with sharp angles that go unnoticed on a conscious level but come into sharp focus when all of the layers are stripped away. My first and most obvious solution was to pour custom circular pads that transport the client and her friends from area to area as if one is jumping from lily pad to lily pad. Small enough in spaces to transport a guest from area to area, large enough to hold a car, the exposed aggregate pads blend in with the multicolored Del Rio pebbles used throughout the garden. A tropical extravaganza, this garden is now the epitome of seclusion and privacy right in the middle of Venice, California.
