Project Overview
This project addressed a significant elevation change between the front entrance and the street level, requiring a design that made the transition both functional and striking. The client wanted modern-looking retaining walls, a well-designed walkway connecting the levels, and a fire pit area overlooking the front of the property.
The solution introduced a series of sculpted, curving concrete retaining walls that terrace the slope into distinct planted levels, paired with a matching curved staircase and walkway guiding visitors up to the entrance. A fire pit area was placed at the upper terrace, offering a gathering spot with views over the front yard and street below.
