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.
