Minimalist Concrete and Rugged Mediterranean Landscaping Enhance Historical Stone Wall

This front yard in Berkeley marries modern functionalism with the wild beauty of a Mediterranean hillside. Clean lines of bold concrete and warm wood bolster a new outdoor kitchen with pizza oven and patio. Rock walls and boulders lend the landscape a feeling of overgrown timelessness, and a verdant patchwork of proteas, grevilleas, and various succulents weaves serenity and complexity throughout.
