The Sun Garden design is a residential design in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, NM.  This property backs up to an acequia so I wanted to emphasize the dichotomy between the built environment and the natural environment.  As you walk from the residence to the back fence, through the gate which leads to the acequia, the material degrades from poured concrete to concrete pavers to crusher fines then finally to native soil. Other elements of the design include a large, elaborate labyrinth, fire pit, water feature, outdoor kitchen and raised garden beds.  Native grasses are planted within the rings to fill in as construction proceeds to the next phase.
