Buena Vista Garden
Buena Vista, Orinda, CA, United States
An unusable backyard in the leftover space between a tall house and an even taller hill consists of a series of poorly placed retaining walls and a tiny patio. Tall plants behind the walls furthered the notion of a looming presence above the space.
Two walls, including a large curved one, were preserved, while another existing wall was reconfigured into a wide amphitheater-like seating area. A set of horizontal steel planters conform to the curve of the long existing wall and draw the eye across the garden. The matte steel finish provides a muted reflection of greens that is constantly changing the position of the sun.
Plants were chosen for their drought tolerant qualities as well as to offer a variety of colors and shades.
