General
"This is a very creative contemporary landscape by Steve Martino, heightened by the owner's personal interest and sense of design. The property is part of an early 1980's commercial development of small similar homes carved out of rocky sloping desert terrain in northern Phoenix. Now, colored curved walls on this corner lot provide sanctuary, and geometric hardscape with complimentary desert plantings create a setting both beautiful and stimulating.
Persons associated with the property include: Steve Martino (landscape architect).
