Garden Inspired by Ruins
When the owner of this Woodinville property said “I want a ruin in my garden” it gave me license to create an Italian fantasy in a small space. The stone walls look like they are a thousand years old and architectural fragments reinforce the feeling of antiquity.
Fountain and pool with classical Italian garden theme
Before, the charmless neglected yard needs a makeover
Stonework lends antiquity while the arbors and trellises add interest to the formerly stark walls of the house
Before, only the cat was happy
The English greenhouse presides over the circular path
During construction, the geometry and the bare bones of the garden are laid bare
The stone arch frames a sculpture and a Music Hall Theater piece ornaments the paving
Before: the sloping yard offered a blank slate
