The Vienna Way Residence maximizes available space, as well as opportunities for indoor–outdoor activity. Its front garden was designed as an adult space while the rear garden was created for children.

A “water corridor,” created by the pool and sunken kitchen and implied by the riparian planting of Cape rush, serves as the organizing element. Deergrass and Oak trees flank the landscape to reflect the California chaparral. Colorful masses of sages and other California natives accent the backyard lawn.
