An Old World Mexican garden
Fremont, California
The owners of this garden wanted to create a unique living environment that evokes the classic elements of old
world Mexico while accommodating an active contemporary lifestyle for their family and friends. Rustic and natural
materials complement the architecture and finish of the home while reflecting classical Mexican design and resurrecting
old world craftsmanship. A rustic Cabana provides shelter and features a complete outdoor kitchen including a wood
fired oven and a bar. The custom swimming pool (by others) serves as a beautiful water feature while providing endless
opportunity for recreation and relaxation. Large lawns and a sport court allow for the enjoyment and benefits of a
variety of sports, games and exercises along with plenty of room for the Mariachi band. A large terraced potager
garden graces the slope above the sport court and there is a small vineyard on the slope in the front yard. A large
cacti and succulent garden makes the owners' feel right at home while providing the perfect backdrop to the couples
extensive sculpture collection. Extensive networks of informal pathways connect several small seating destinations
where smaller groups can converse and enjoy the surrounding views.
