client: soniCinema headquarters needed a facelift for its drab urban lot, which showed off lots of lawn and three rotting wooden garden beds.

solution: New stone beds along the side of the building grow vegetables, insectary and edible flowers, and herbs year-round. This attractive patio enclosing a butterfly garden was made from stone diverted from the waste stream of a local granite counter manufacturer. A new urbanite wall keeps run-off from the sidewalk, and offers raspberries and strawberries to passers-by.
