These clients desired a more beautiful, functional and low maintenance space for the steep yard between their contemporary, urban home and the creek below that would work for entertaining beyond Minnesota’s short pool season. The couple envisioned a contemporary, less curvilinear, more private poolscape that would suit the house and include a water feature and more modern fire pit. Plantings were to be minimal, except for colorful annuals.
