Teeter Totter Act
Denver, Colorado
Design | Build: 2003
Located in the heart of the historic Cherry Creek neighborhood of Denver, this back yard landscape design reflects the clients' wishes to enjoy a poetic interplay between water and stone.
A serpentine riprap wall originates with a granite water basin that reflects the sky in its horizontal stillness. An inverse curve directs the stone wall toward the fence line on the property edge. It appears to end, but instead re-emerges, picking up the curve as though continuing behind the fence, hidden from sight. A grass lawn is preserved for children to play.
The stone wall grows in height before ending at a five foot high waterfall stone, where a vertical sheet of water spills out rhythmically from a thin opening carved into the five ton stone.
