Submission by Alder Landscape Architecture

Ortiz Residence

FRONTYARD
Of the materials to make exposed aggregate concrete. This design is in a Japanese tradition with concrete pads separated by 4" voids with larger pebbles in between. The wall has a veneer of San Francisco cobble which lined the streets of old San Francisco historically and was provided by clipper ships requiring ballast as they made the difficult trip around Cape Horn, South America. A lead mask of a Lion Head is present to provide "white noise" into the fountain. A bench is present for guests that linger as they are returning home and wish to enjoy the lovely setting.

BACKYARD
The backyard pool and spa are located next to the Master Bedroom. The closer a landscape feature is next to the house, the more likely it will be used. Water falls into the pool at a greater depth since the elevation of the patio leading from the Master Bedroom is higher than the backyard finish grade. Slate tile is used close to the spa and residence but returns to exposed aggregate around the perimeter of the pool.

The upcoming Custom Residential Issue of Landscape Architect and Specifier News saw many firms submit their projects for feature consideration. This project was not chosen for a Feature in the issue, but we at LandscapeArchitect.com thought the project deserved to be showcased online . . .
