The water journey begins in a Corten steel basin beside the Ipe deck on the upper level of the narrow lot. The "handrill" is a water channel that travels down a staircase to the back garden at ground level. Existing pines were allowed to remain, and additional native plants and shrubs were planted to create privacy in this urban garden. General Contractor: GF Rhode Construction, Inc.
