An existing retaining wall and a new elevated watercourse with spillway define a backyard entertaining space echoing Mediterranean gardens. Pigmented stucco walls and fountain (with built-in bench) in creamy yellow complement Santa Barbara sandstone pavers. Falling water creates a cool, refreshing atmosphere. The space engages all senses: gentle gurgle, scents of lavender and Corsican mint, and a basin at the fountain top perfect for chilling summer drinks.
