Photography Jack Lyons Project Description Several homes were recently constructed abutting a natural creekbed, which the oak studded hills of Portola Valley are well renowned. Along with the natural beauty the south-bay location affords, the constraints of building within a creek flood zone posed unique challenges, and resulted in limited consideration to spatial layout and usability of outdoor spaces beyond the envelope of the home itself. The primary drivers of the renovation included the creation of clear circulation paths to the front door, a space for small gatherings to enjoy the natural beauty bestowed upon the site, and a defined area for servicing the bikes of the avid cyclists residing there. The success of integrating these elements into the oak woodland setting also relied upon an extensive replanting of the established drainage swale. The native planting scheme contextualized and reinvigorated the home as habitat serving both humans and surrounding wildlife. <img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7b9281051242ca6e51ae1911053ac8b0acd1be4a9dd53e0691d8497f7d971b0e/DSC_0010.jpg" data-mid="212584336" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7b9281051242ca6e51ae1911053ac8b0acd1be4a9dd53e0691d8497f7d971b0e/DSC_0010.jpg" /> <img width="2502" height="1531" width_o="2502" height_o="1531" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/adc9acaaf307a139372718d2a29e1f29cc97080184d9fc5383b83c4ba070f14c/DSC_0143.jpg" data-mid="212584333" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/adc9acaaf307a139372718d2a29e1f29cc97080184d9fc5383b83c4ba070f14c/DSC_0143.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/daaa702e05e61fe9f097f11f3317c04c3d0820fb0c8a43da05ceed6a6c00da92/DSC_0133.jpg" data-mid="212584338" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/daaa702e05e61fe9f097f11f3317c04c3d0820fb0c8a43da05ceed6a6c00da92/DSC_0133.jpg" /> A wooden boardwalk and paved pathway creates wide and welcoming circulation to the front entry, bringing clear connections to the house from the expansive front setback.

PhotographyJack Lyons Project Description With a large front exposure and limited private outdoor space, a strategic planting scheme was developed to seclude gathering spaces and obscure sight-lines. The previously lawn-laden frontage was replaced with a perennial meadow driven primarily by native flora and drought tolerant species. Circulation paths were added, inviting a more intimate appreciation of the garden. A small rear yard was resurfaced and enclosed with high-quality redwood in a pattern complementary to the architectural style of the home. <img width="2922" height="1948" width_o="2922" height_o="1948" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a8430ebce81ea7cc40c042e86d3f2eab94afefcf41b12d76b006578d48943e25/DSC_0025.jpg" data-mid="189594859" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a8430ebce81ea7cc40c042e86d3f2eab94afefcf41b12d76b006578d48943e25/DSC_0025.jpg" /> <img width="2375" height="1774" width_o="2375" height_o="1774" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c3eaf9f38a29b5af95e7131b3cc172a0393b3470b1a26f6a70479a8cff53e356/DSC_0011.jpg" data-mid="189594854" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c3eaf9f38a29b5af95e7131b3cc172a0393b3470b1a26f6a70479a8cff53e356/DSC_0011.jpg" /> <img width="2561" height="1955" width_o="2561" height_o="1955" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a24715dbc7e3ff4510fa077745d496a6552cb2a9d9fbe4e97f87de0160cb9c17/DSC_0032.jpg" data-mid="189594860" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a24715dbc7e3ff4510fa077745d496a6552cb2a9d9fbe4e97f87de0160cb9c17/DSC_0032.jpg" /> <img width="2935" height="1946" width_o="2935" height_o="1946" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cbb113b9a950645540c667d50e27741ffc5365f815099c7381cd21d2058cada1/DSC_0051.jpg" data-mid="189594862" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cbb113b9a950645540c667d50e27741ffc5365f815099c7381cd21d2058cada1/DSC_0051.jpg" /> <img width="2897" height="1876" width_o="2897" height_o="1876" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3e94928afa23d82ddcbf5fac30895955c869aa15d549e101cbbe66e090a5ee86/DSC_0045.jpg" data-mid="189594861" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3e94928afa23d82ddcbf5fac30895955c869aa15d549e101cbbe66e090a5ee86/DSC_0045.jpg" /> <img width="2254" height="1858" width_o="2254" height_o="1858" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2a969b2b8650b278833751e47c5b9d1d9482fcd8b0fce5871239f71fef30e455/DSC_0085.jpg" data-mid="189594865" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2a969b2b8650b278833751e47c5b9d1d9482fcd8b0fce5871239f71fef30e455/DSC_0085.jpg" /> <img width="1864" height="1718" width_o="1864" height_o="1718" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1d08486278935de0bdebef416dff47c9bbe32daa677f0e2233a2ddd7be18d277/DSC_0018.jpg" data-mid="189594857" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1d08486278935de0bdebef416dff47c9bbe32daa677f0e2233a2ddd7be18d277/DSC_0018.jpg" /> <img width="1999" height="1320" width_o="1999" height_o="1320" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b477112f39242f5d366f7d5f1b686d7549e8cc9f1e5a2c14cf3c420242a42072/DSC_0006.jpg" data-mid="189594852" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b477112f39242f5d366f7d5f1b686d7549e8cc9f1e5a2c14cf3c420242a42072/DSC_0006.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/56d3a02dd969b8370b7398d4ef5ef0200355670b26331749f84f26bcd905bfeb/DSC_0070.jpg" data-mid="189594863" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/56d3a02dd969b8370b7398d4ef5ef0200355670b26331749f84f26bcd905bfeb/DSC_0070.jpg" /> https://jacklyonsdesign.info/Highland-Avenue Mon, 14 Oct 2024 22:15:55 +0000 Jack Lyons Design https://jacklyonsdesign.info/Highland-Avenue Highland Ave <img width="2157" height="1600" width_o="2157" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0f64b94af00e495fec47eac488e85d027525aaa8b1d59a420c2511e3cb70da2d/DSC_0157.jpg" data-mid="219745838" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0f64b94af00e495fec47eac488e85d027525aaa8b1d59a420c2511e3cb70da2d/DSC_0157.jpg" /> Project Role Landscape Design&nbsp;Carpentry Detail DesignConstruction AdministrationProject Bidding Permit SubmittalFabrication and Construction&nbsp;Kevin Reimer, Avocado Woodworking, Joey Mota Landscaping Photography Jack Lyons Project DescriptionA young and growing Piedmont family had dreams of expanding their finished interior space into the English cottage style backyard.

Photography Jack Lyons Project Description Tucked away in the historic Trestle Glen neighborhood, a couple sought to increase the usability of their backyard in a way that would be child and pet friendly, with the capacity to evolve over time. The yard was divided into two primary levels, defined by a rustic fieldstone retaining wall. The lower patio in dimensional blue stone provides a spacious, open layout for flexible furnishing, outdoor cooking, and lounging. A gentle stair transition ascends to an intimately scaled gathering area, accented with basalt cobblestone. Here, the garden opens up to a grass area surrounded by a medley of pollinator-friendly and edible plants. This provides a soft, level surface for kids to play in a natural setting. The low, open fence style, was developed for safety, while preserving visibilty and an overall natural aesthetic. Custom brackets protect the longevity of the wood posts while keeping them visually concealed.

Prioritization of quality craftsmanship and authenticity of materials resulted in the selection of Western Red Cedar for the pergola and fencing, featuring carpentry details and joinery used in traditional structures. The clear plexiglass canopy and rain-chain enables year-round, all-weather enjoyment of the space, without loss of natural light.
