Naturalistic hillside with contemporary water feature cascades through distinctive plantings
A waterfall garden creates a serene entry to this waterfront home. Soft, lush foliage frames clean concrete facades from which stainless-steel weirs spill water in gentle cascades, box to box, interspaced with cobbled stream beds that echo the rhythm of the adjacent stair arrangement. The sequence culminates in a final spill into a black-bottom reflecting pool, still and luminous against the surrounding landscape.

The waterfall garden creates a serene and relaxing entry to a waterfront home. Soft, lush foliage surrounds clean facades of concrete from which stainless-steel weirs softly spill water.
The water flows from box to box interspaced with cobbled stream beds mimicking the adjacent stair arrangement. A final spill flows into a lovely black bottom reflecting pool.
