The entrance for the Villa di Martini is transformed into an edible entrance garden with three varieties of cabbage, marigolds, thyme and faceted metal planters containing Chilean guava. A site inspired charred wood sculpture and 5 pedestals mirror the faceted forms of the planters and contrast the travertine paving. A carpet of Dymondia adds an element of curiosity as a substitution for a drought tolerant “lawn” alongside a massing of coast rosemary and the sculptural forms of mature olive trees. The combination of art elements and material textures give a contemporary feel to this classically styled space for San Francisco’s annual Decorator Showcase.
