Nestled between neighboring townhouses, the ‘Hilgard Garden’ by San Francisco-based Barensfeld Architecture takes advantage of its sloping topography with a series of angular terraces.  Located in Berkeley, California, the brief called for an outdoor living and entertaining area, as well as an accessible seating spot at the top of the site.  Based on a Japanese maple sculpture park, a layered platform structure gently cascades down the steep landscape, referencing outstretched deciduous trees and navigating the change in elevation.
