The MacDowell CompanyThis rear yard has a centrally located pool, which is backed by a fieldstone wall. This fieldstone wall has a number of accents to add interest and form, but the highlight is a centrally located fountain.
A pool cabana containing a built in grill anchors one side of the pool while a trellis balances the landscape on the other side of the pool.
Fieldstone columns with bluestone caps surround the perimeter of the rear yard and lend additional interest to the iron fencing
A minimalist approach was taken for the planting scheme. Select ornamental deciduous trees add the vertical element and low shrubs and perennials soften the transition to the house as well as add color.
Strategic landscape lighting really transforms this area at night, it's a beautiful area to enjoy a summer evening.
Guy Ayers, ArchitectReverse Shed Eichler
This project is part tear-down, part remodel. The original L-shaped plan allowed the living/ dining/ kitchen wing to be completely re-built while retaining the shell of the bedroom wing virtually intact. The rebuilt entertainment wing was enlarged 50% and covered with a low-slope reverse-shed roof sloping from eleven to thirteen feet. The shed roof floats on a continuous glass clerestory with eight foot transom. Cantilevered steel frames support wood roof beams with eaves of up to ten feet. An interior glass clerestory separates the kitchen and livingroom for sound control. A wall-to-wall skylight illuminates the north wall of the kitchen/family room. New additions at the back of the house add several “sliding” wall planes, where interior walls continue past full-height windows to the exterior, complimenting the typical Eichler indoor-outdoor ceiling and floor planes. The existing bedroom wing has been re-configured on the interior, changing three small bedrooms into two larger ones, and adding a guest suite in part of the original garage. A previous den addition provided the perfect spot for a large master ensuite bath and walk-in closet. Natural materials predominate, with fir ceilings, limestone veneer fireplace walls, anigre veneer cabinets, fir sliding windows and interior doors, bamboo floors, and concrete patios and walks.

Urban Oasis Landscape DesignLarge picture windows looked out onto the empty narrow side yard. Our solution was to create a dramatic 3D modular installation with CorTen Planters filled with low maintenance cacti.
Shambhala LandscapesThis classic San Francisco backyard was transformed into an inviting and usable outdoor living space. New expansive double french doors open onto the custom concrete paver and Ipe wood patio. A generous L-shaped outdoor kitchen island frames the patio area and allows for ample storage and prep space.
Built EnvironmentThis project was to increase the elegance and define the entry to this wonderful home.

Bianchi DesignThese clients decided to make this home their Catalina Mountain homestead, after living abroad for many years. The prior yard enclosed only a small portion of their available property, and a wall obstructed their city lights view of northern Tucson. We expanded the yard outward to take advantage of the space and to also integrate the topography change into a 360 vanishing edge pool.
The home previously had log columns in keeping with a territorial motif. To bring it up to date, concrete cylindrical columns were put in their place, which allowed us to expand the shaded locations throughout the yard in an updated way, as seen by the new retractable canvas shade structures.
Constructed by Mike Rowland, you can see how well he pulled off the projects precise detailing of Bianchi's Design. Note the cantilevered concrete steps, the slot of fire in the midst of the spa, the stair treads that don't quite touch the adjacent walls, and the columns that float just above the pool water.
System PaversThis outdoor remodel consists of a full front yard and backyard re-design. A Small, private paver patio was built off the master bedroom, boasting an elegant fire pit and exquisite views of those West Coast sunsets. In the front courtyard, a paver walkway and patio was built in - perfect for alfresco dining or lounging with loved ones. The front of the home features a new landscape design and LED lighting, creating an elegant look and adding plenty of curb appeal

Design Builders, Inc.A unique drainage system redirects water from the hip roof to off the property via an innovative array of gutters and pipes. On this side of the porch, water flows from the side of the deck and underneath the decking itself through a PVC pipe. Metal mesh wiring prevents the drainage system from getting clogged.
