Ignacio Residence
Novato, Marin County

Small gardens can be very special places as seen
in this Ignacio home. Most of the land at this property
slopes steeply away from the house leaving a level
activity area adjacent to the home. Comfortable
flagstone landings and steps invite the visitor onto
the space. The focal point of the garden is a stone
fireplace that is integrated with an elevated spa,
barbeque console and retaining wall. The warm colors
in the concrete patio, stone walls and fireplace work
together with the shade trees and accent planting to
make a delightful space for entertaining or relaxing.
