This rather steep site had 3 requirements: to mask over an old driveway that shot straight up to the house; to cover the exposed side of a swimming pool; and to create a grand entry to the house.

These first photo show the new entry, which now covers the upper part of the old driveway, and the terracing that masks the pool.  Since the owner was a devout Christian, I shaped some of the drain holes in the retainer walls accordingly.

The lower section of the old driveway cut was covered over with terrace walls, planting, and steps that lead up to the house and main entry above.
