Ridge Top Gem

Contemporary Garden, San Francisco

This home is a hillside setting with stunning views of Lamorinda and Mount Diablo. The centerpiece of the design is the vanishing edge swimming pool set into the contour of the land. We used a unique drainage design which collects and disperses the water from the house roof and paving area through a series of landscape bio-swales, rockeries and to decorative rendition ponds. Native plants are featured in this design to echo the surrounding oak tree and native grasslands. Architect: Rich Bartlett Architects General Contractor: James Rogers Treve Johnson Photography
