Gould Garden<br />
1955-60 • BERKELEY, CA<br />
Located on a sloped lot in the Berkeley Hills, <strong>Halprin</strong>’s site plan took advantage of the steep<br />
grade to highlight views of the San Francisco Bay Area. He worked with sculptor Jacques<br />
Overhoff to compose a retaining wall of cast concrete bas-relief panels, and an abstract<br />
oblong fountain over a rectangular pool. They intended for the sharp nature of the concrete<br />
wall and fountain to contrast with the softness of the receding hills framed in the viewshed.<br />
Other site features at the Gould Garden include a cabana surrounded by pavers and lawn.<br />
<strong>Halprin</strong> continued to collaborate with Overhoff on other Bay Area projects, including Capitol<br />
Towers Apartments in Sacramento [see pgs. 30-31].<br />
