This is a preliminary project, currently under revision. It consists of widening an existing path, create a playground with a play house, design a stage for a young singer under an existing Pepper tree and in continuation of a landing, informally locate the spectators and finally design a bar with a rest area.
One of the conditions was that the lot, which is sloping down with a difference of 7' in level, would be divided in flat terraces. No foundation is possible here because most part of this area is Public Works easement. In consequence, we have worked with portable decks that could easily be removed in case underground repairs were needed.
A transition space leading to the bar is achieved with high cylinder cactus planters on stone or ground cover straight areas alternating with portable decks. The end of the perspective is a sitting area on gravel and the bar next to an existing tree plus a decorative flowering tree behind.
Some side bushes are existing, others are proposed.
The hard lines of the added geometry is designed in contrast with the winding path. To make it wider, an edge with decorative stone was added.
The preliminary floor plan and cross section is partially shown here, in order to protect the privacy of the client. The job site is in Southern California.
