What happens here
Focus on the large retaining wall system that supports the house and the outdoor living areas. The wall is constructed from large, light-colored blocks, forming multiple tiers or levels to manage the slope of the hill. Stairs are visible, integrated into the retaining wall structure, providing access between different levels of the outdoor space.
Goal: Understand the scale and construction of the retaining wall and its role in landscaping.
