The Urban play
• The clients' three-story minimalist modern house in the Buena Vista Park neighbourhood of San Francisco has extensive views of the city from the roof deck but little land. When we started the project, in 2004, the rear space was a very small-feeling, steeply sloped, irregularly angled, wedge-shaped patch of weeds, 25fee at the widest point by 44feet long.
Concept
The clients were determined to explore the chances to make an outdoor play space for their very young twin girls, so they wouldn't have to always drive to a playground or otherwise have the children play indoors. The clients also wanted the play space to be interesting to view from above.
The Design
• Beautifully clean, smooth, concrete walls and efficient use of space. Designed snap-tie concrete walls, coloured to match the smooth stucco of the house, to retain the terraces and planting beds, visually extending the architecture into the garden. Italian granite, the flooring indoors, is continued outdoors in the steps that float down the slope, and in the seat of a bench that cantilevers from a concrete wall.
