TOP LEFT: Playful and curious, the highlighted orange question mark
begs for an answer.
TOP CENTER: This unique metal sculpture stands in the garden and helps
create visual flow within the scene as it directs the viewer's eyes to the
main portion of the front yard.
TOP RIGHT: The diaphanous qualities of this delicate Japanese maple leaf
cluster are captured in this nighime photograph. The powerful orange-
red leaf colors pop in contrast to the multitude of greens in the garden.
The translucent leaves seem to come alive when softly illuminated.
BOT TOM: The yellow art piece standing in the background of this Beverly
Hills property draws aention, as the designer chose not to illuminate
the trunk of the large ficus tree. Soft downlighting from the icus serves
as a visual marker leading to the focal point, which is the art piece itself.
FACING PAGE: This large podocarpus gracillior towers above the clients'
beloved art pieces in the garden. The delicate acer palmatum, with its
reddish-orange leaves, softens the space and adds texture to the scene.
The trunks of the pine trees in the background add cohesion and depth.
