On the east side, a raised mound, which the designers call Hippie Hill — an homage to the Summer of Love — is made up of old concrete and other rubble that came out of the former garden, and it is all covered with artificial drought-conscious Forever Lawn. Around it, Miksovsky suggested outdoor seating where humangear employees could work and lounge, along with raised paths where they could walk while thinking of new ideas. The Steuernagels and their small design/build team immediately thought that a sculptural, organic form could anchor the center of their design.

In their plan, they drew interlocking circles inspired by humangear’s logo and eventually created circular redwood boardwalks that blend into a circular ipe wood bench made up of hand-built components. The bench surrounds a circular gas fire pit composed of repurposed granite curbstone. Instead of concrete, the rest of the garden is now covered with bluestone pavers that are laid at a 13-degree angle to align with a pattern in the interior carpeting. “It is more obvious when the back roll-up doors are open,” Boor says.

Add a glass dry-erase board hanging on one of the building’s old 20-foot-high sandblasted concrete perimeter walls that form a fence around the garden, and even a built-in barbecue at one end, and you have every humangear employee’s dream garden. Staffers frequently lunch together outside and every Friday, even on foggy days, the fire pit is the locus of cocktail parties.

“Before this garden, we never really thought that people at work also need to be outside just as we do at home,” Danielle Steuernagel says. “This is an extension of home. Chris loves to entertain his friends here because his apartment nearby is smaller. On days when he rolls in right after dirt biking, there is a hot shower and a garden waiting.” n
