Located in the quaint San Diego neighborhood of Kensington, this scenic canyon inspired several design ideas for its owners – a young, growing family.  Design concepts evolved to create a series of outdoor rooms for the children and parents to enjoy with a hip, cottage vibe.  The final design incorporates the following features:

• outdoor gardening areas with raised beds
• easy, natural terracing of the steeply sloped property, with boulders and plantings to integrate into the surrounding landscape
• natural play areas and wood deck with swings for the children
• small turf area and sloped meadow for active play
• entertaining area with a water feature located to have easy access from the house and enjoy spectacular views of the canyon
• rainwater capture
