Xyz Gardens became "ours" in  2009 after searching for a  place among the redwoods that we could escape to from San Francisco.   The 1931 creekside cottage had been vacant for several years but was structurally strong.  With two bedrooms and an open floor plan we could see that this knotty pine haven had great potential. But it was the amazing private + sunny outdoor space, bordering along Hulbert Creek in the redwoods, that made us want the property. 
 
​Our objective was to create an evolving indoor/outdoor space that highlights its’ architectural ancestry while encompassing a modern aesthetic from the designs that inspire us.  Naturally, we wanted relaxation + recreation at the forefront to ensure it is a place of escape. We hope that you enjoy Xyz Gardens and all that the Russian River area has to offer.  ​
