this is a project we worked on a couple of years ago in redwood city, the couple we worked with had two active kids who needed a space to kick soccer balls, develop an interest in sustainable agriculture, and a place for the family to gather around a fire in the evening...

We recently had the opportunity to design+build a landscape, more of an outdoor living space in the Eureka Valley neighborhood in San Francisco. This project was for a couple with two young children, they wanted a space for their parents, who visited constantly, to sit and watch their kids play. The site is steeply sloped above and below, the wall behind the property drops 20, meaning everything we did had to be tied into the hillside and promote the movement of water. Like all our work, every edge is imaged as a place to sit, for either a 6' or 2' tall human...

A couple of years ago we completed a large project in East Oakland off of Park St, steeply sloped huge yard, they just had a bady, so the plan was to create a giant climbing gym for someone learning to walk. We used reclaimed materials throughout, some 17' beams from a high school gym in Turlock, old growth redwood from a 100 year old water tank in the Santa Cruz mountains, 500 lb used granite street curbs from the streets of san francisco...

We have been working on this project for a year and it is (finally) nearly complete. Most of the wood elements are made from salvaged material: Japanese railroad ties, a Santa Cruz mountains water tank, salvaged Douglas Fir timbers. The client wanted a space she could have parties in, almost all the built elements double as benches...
