Circular terrace built of ancient cobblestone inspired by gardens in the South of France, surrounded by plants which thrive in dry summer climates of both the Mediterranean and Pacific Northwest. Sculpture by Nancy Mee highlights the play of classic and contemporary architecture.

Geometric lines of the pool and walls of the garden inspired by The Art Deco period in the first half of the Twentieth Century. Plants complement the design with contrasts of form and texture: spiny, round, linear and curving. Robert Maki scuptures reinforce the spirit of the garden.

Dedicated to The Fifties, the organic shapes in this garden recall the the boomerang tables, hula-hoops and tail fins of that sublime era. Inspirations for curvaceous plants and contemporary architecture.
