Clemente Residence
The Landscape Plan -- The design challenges within the existing site context were many. The new courtyard had to 1) be deep enough to accomodate access to the new garage, 2) wide enough to access the old garage & its driveway, 3) provide enough space for guest parking, 4) to dovetail with the existing entry drive, while 5) not being excessively steep. A retaining wall (at right) frames the formal space at a tolerable 4' height.
