GEOLOGY AND GEOMETRY

FRONT + BACKYARD
SACRAMENTO, CA | 2021

Geology and geometry work together to maximize space in this small front-backyard project. Strong rectilinear geometries carve out spaces for programs and features, and clean contemporary concrete work gives the overall property an updated look and feel. The front yard seating area encourages interaction with neighbors and the backyard has geology-inspired nooks for more intimate gatherings.
