An Entry Garden with a difference

bahia

So many California homes are often more driveway than garden when faced with relatively narrow lots, and the garden often is an afterthought. This home had the additional need to fit in a full floor of stairs within a very shallow front yard set back. The design uses a zig-zag alignment for the stairs that uses a playful layout of walls and railings and built-in planters to make the most of the relatively limited planting areas. People seem to either love it or be annoyed by the configuration, what is your opinion? My opinion is that it's visually more pleasing than a single straight run of stairs out to the street.
