Fox Trot Garden Boulder, Colorado Design | Build: 2004 Just below the jagged Flatirons in the foothills of Boulder sits a 1940s brick bungalow on a small lot. The site includes mature pine, spruce and silver maple trees, leaving little room for large gestures. Instead, the site suggests a naturalized under story and a native forest floor coupled with the clients' one wish: a mountain creek. The design for this back yard, which wraps around the house, is organized by a carefully choreographed water trough that reproduces a sinuous creek. The water appears to have cut a narrow yet deep channel through a rocky alpine landscape, flowing east into a small, tranquil pond. The existing trees dictate the course of the water, which wraps around the corner of the living room, creating distinct climates on two sides of the house. The west side garden holds the origin of the creek and also a lush shade garden, while the south side is bathed in full sun and filled with high meadow grasses and low alpine flora. |
