Martini Garden Denver, Colorado Design | Build: 2004 After completing an extensive remodel, the clients of this 1950s ranch house were inspired to bring the landscape up-to-date as well. A minimal modern approach was deployed inside the house and a similar language was desired for the exterior spaces. Two rooms of the house access the backyard: the master bedroom and the living room/kitchen. The design solution for the garden pairs the bedroom with an intimate lush garden room and the living room with a concrete tile patio. Seams between the tiles are densely planted with aromatic thyme. The two spaces are delineated by a sunken garden that creates an island of privacy for the master bedroom. Rectangular concrete slabs float above the sunken garden forming a bridge between the sumptuous planted floor of the island and the patio. A steel and wood trellis is covered with honeysuckle vines that provide shade overhead on hot summer days. On the cool spring and fall evenings, a cast concrete gas fireplace extends the use of the patio space into late starry nights. |
