The Gardens
San Mateo, California

Consultant to developer for preparation of landscape plans and construction documents for a high density 186-unit apartment complex in the San Francisco Bay Area. The singular challenge of the project was the transformation of an intricate network of courtyards, walkways and terraces and much of it over structure, into lush, identifiable and personal spaces – creating a rich and intimate landscape on limited land. Winner of AIA House and Home Merit Award, AIA and Sunset's Western Home Award, and Urban Design Case Studies Certificate of Design Excellence.
