<strong>Halprin</strong> designed this garden on a steep ravine in Marin County for Harry and<br />
Deevee Lehman. He used a native rock outcropping to define one boundary of the<br />
garden, and contoured a swimming pool to its base. A small waterfall in the rock<br />
wall collects in a shallow pebbled basin before overflowing into the pool. The floor<br />
of the pool was decorated in a colorful glass and stone mosaic by artist Ray Rice.<br />
<strong>Halprin</strong> collaborated closely with the architect of the Lehman residence, Joseph<br />
Esherick, to design a raised redwood deck around the pool, with dressing rooms<br />
underneath. The rooms were built at the pool level and include windows with<br />
underwater views. <strong>Halprin</strong> went on to collaborate with Esherick on major projects<br />
throughout the next decade, including The Sea Ranch in Sonoma County.<br />
