SILVERLAKE GALLEY GARDEN
SILVERLAKE GALLEY GARDEN
Type
The garden is part of a wider renovation at this property which includes a masterbath and office addition, which OCD has also designed. Further, as an extension of the renovation OCD seeks to connect the house more integrally with the rear garden. The existing house, typical of most pre-war hillside houses, sits like a box against the lower portion of its property, with no inviting access. The circulation model shows the enriched spatial connections between the garden and house.
The most striking existing condition on the rear property is a retaining wall that split the rear yard in two, thus leaving narrow upper and lower terraces—which only further alienated the inhabitants from their rear garden. OCD proposes to demolish a section of the retaining wall and to insert a terrace in between the lower and upper reaches of the garden, thus opening a line of circulation throughout the property. Thereby, for the first time, the inhabitants can maximize the full use and value of their expensive hillside property.
