The idea of outdoor rooms has become very
popular in recent years. This hot tub area,
located off the back deck of this San Francisco
residence, invites guests to feel a sense of
quiet relaxation. As guests wander through the
garden, the pathway is illuminated by a
combination of ground-mounted uplights and
downlights that are mounted inside the upper
branches of the taller trees. Other
architectural pieces are discovered along the
pathways including this stone window and basin.
