Northwest Native Landscapes LLCThis compact, urban backyard was in desperate need of privacy. We created a series of outdoor rooms, privacy screens, and lush plantings all with an Asian-inspired design sense. Elements include a covered outdoor lounge room, sun decks, rock gardens, shade garden, evergreen plant screens, and raised boardwalk to connect the various outdoor spaces. The finished space feels like a true backyard oasis.

RDM ArchitectureThis garden path was created next to the new master bedroom addition we designed as part of the Orr Residence renovation. The curving limestone paver path is defined by the plantings. RDM and the client selected plantings that are very happy in the shade as this part of the yard gets very little direct sunlight. Check out the rest of the Orr Residence photos as this project was all about outdoor living!

MAJ DÉCORATIONL’achat de cet appartement a été conditionné par l’aménagement du balcon. En effet, situé au cœur d’un nouveau quartier actif, le vis à vis était le principal défaut.
OBJECTIFS :
Limiter le vis à vis
Apporter de la végétation
Avoir un espace détente et un espace repas
Créer des rangements pour le petit outillage de jardin et les appareils électriques type plancha et friteuse
Sécuriser les aménagements pour le chat (qu’il ne puisse pas sauter sur les rebords du garde corps).
Pour cela, des aménagements en bois sur mesure ont été imaginés, le tout en DIY. Sur un côté, une jardinière a été créée pour y intégrer des bambous. Sur la longueur, un banc 3 en 1 (banc/jardinière/rangements) a été réalisé. Son dossier a été conçu comme une jardinière dans laquelle des treillis ont été insérés afin d’y intégrer des plantes grimpantes qui limitent le vis à vis de manière naturelle. Une table pliante est rangée sur un des côtés afin de pouvoir l’utiliser pour les repas en extérieur. Sur l’autre côté, un meuble en bois a été créé. Il sert de « coffrage » à un meuble d’extérieur de rangement étanche (le balcon n’étant pas couvert) et acheté dans le commerce pour l’intégrer parfaitement dans le décor.
De l’éclairage d’appoint a aussi été intégré dans le bois des jardinières de bambous et du meuble de rangement en supplément de l’éclairage général (insuffisant) prévu à la construction de la résidence.
Enfin, un gazon synthétique vient apporter la touche finale de verdure.
Ainsi, ce balcon est devenu un cocon végétalisé urbain où il est bon de se détendre et de profiter des beaux jours !
Green Dove Construction, LLCThe Fox family wanted to have plenty of entertainment space in their backyard retreat. We also were able to continue using the landscape lighting to help the steps be visible at night and also give a elegant and modern look to the space.
The Garden DistrictThe Valero Family wanted a new area where they could have foliage growing and covering an area that faced the neighbors for more privacy and also to enhance the look of their backyard. Privacy fence, new landscaping , palm trees and beach pebbles were installed in this area,

Versa Style DesignThe client desired privacy from her neighbours and wanted a curtain that could control the sunlight at certain times of the day. We added geometric black tiles, wood walls with a swinging gate, and breezy white curtains that can be thrown in the washing machine. She now spends a lot of time outside relaxing with friends.

Mihaly SlocombeWeather House is a bespoke home for a young, nature-loving family on a quintessentially compact Northcote block.
Our clients Claire and Brent cherished the character of their century-old worker's cottage but required more considered space and flexibility in their home. Claire and Brent are camping enthusiasts, and in response their house is a love letter to the outdoors: a rich, durable environment infused with the grounded ambience of being in nature.
From the street, the dark cladding of the sensitive rear extension echoes the existing cottage!s roofline, becoming a subtle shadow of the original house in both form and tone. As you move through the home, the double-height extension invites the climate and native landscaping inside at every turn. The light-bathed lounge, dining room and kitchen are anchored around, and seamlessly connected to, a versatile outdoor living area. A double-sided fireplace embedded into the house’s rear wall brings warmth and ambience to the lounge, and inspires a campfire atmosphere in the back yard.
Championing tactility and durability, the material palette features polished concrete floors, blackbutt timber joinery and concrete brick walls. Peach and sage tones are employed as accents throughout the lower level, and amplified upstairs where sage forms the tonal base for the moody main bedroom. An adjacent private deck creates an additional tether to the outdoors, and houses planters and trellises that will decorate the home’s exterior with greenery.
From the tactile and textured finishes of the interior to the surrounding Australian native garden that you just want to touch, the house encapsulates the feeling of being part of the outdoors; like Claire and Brent are camping at home. It is a tribute to Mother Nature, Weather House’s muse.
Assured Accuracy, LLCThis remodel was needed in order to take a 1950's style concrete upper slab into the present day, making it a true indoor-outdoor living space, but still utilizing all of the Midcentury design aesthetics. In the 1990's someone tried to update the space by covering the concrete ledge with pavers, as well as a portion of the area that the current deck is over. Once all the pavers were removed, the black tile was placed over the old concrete ledge and then the deck was added on, to create additional usable sq footage.

Mjolnir ConstructionCheck out this large deck we completed in Stittsville!
A beautiful TimberTech composite deck in the colour Dark Roast of the PRO Reserve Collection. Inspired by reclaimed wood, the heavy wire-brushed, low-gloss finish showcases the classic cathedral wood grain pattern on these resilient boards.
Of course, there are no visible fasteners anywhere with the use of CONCEALoc Hidden Fasteners on the grooved infill boards and Starborn Pro Plug system for the square edge boards.
A privacy screen located on the end of the deck features black powder-coated aluminum posts from HOFT Solutions as well as the same TimberTech boards used for the deck surface.
A line of coloured riverwash stone borders the deck for a tailored and professional finish.
Montecito Landscapecustom made pond with stone edging with central fountain is the centerpiece of this beautiful garden. Surrounded by drought tolerant ground covers that can be mowed like a lawn but without the water. Gravel paths meander through this garden bordered with flowering drought tolerant perennials roses, lavender, blue spire sage, jasmine, pittosporum, rosemary, rockrose. The paths meander through the woods. Sitting areas are placed throughout this garden. Subtle garden lighting illuminates this garden creating a magical wonderland.

E. F. San JuanGulf-Front Grandeur
Private Residence / Alys Beach, Florida
Architect: Khoury & Vogt Architects
Builder: Hufham Farris Construction

This one-of-a-kind Gulf-front residence in the New Urbanism community of Alys Beach, Florida, is truly a stunning piece of architecture matched only by its views. E. F. San Juan worked with the Alys Beach Town Planners at Khoury & Vogt Architects and the building team at Hufham Farris Construction on this challenging and fulfilling project.
We supplied character white oak interior boxed beams and stair parts. We also furnished all of the interior trim and paneling. The exterior products we created include ipe shutters, gates, fascia and soffit, handrails, and newels (balcony), ceilings, and wall paneling, as well as custom columns and arched cased openings on the balconies. In addition, we worked with our trusted partners at Loewen to provide windows and Loewen LiftSlide doors.
Challenges:
This was the homeowners’ third residence in the area for which we supplied products, and it was indeed a unique challenge. The client wanted as much of the exterior as possible to be weathered wood. This included the shutters, gates, fascia, soffit, handrails, balcony newels, massive columns, and arched openings mentioned above. The home’s Gulf-front location makes rot and weather damage genuine threats. Knowing that this home was to be built to last through the ages, we needed to select a wood species that was up for the task. It needed to not only look beautiful but also stand up to those elements over time.
Solution:
The E. F. San Juan team and the talented architects at KVA settled upon ipe (pronounced “eepay”) for this project. It is one of the only woods that will sink when placed in water (you would not want to make a boat out of ipe!). This species is also commonly known as ironwood because it is so dense, making it virtually rot-resistant, and therefore an excellent choice for the substantial pieces of millwork needed for this project.
However, ipe comes with its own challenges; its weight and density make it difficult to put through machines and glue. These factors also come into play for hinging when using ipe for a gate or door, which we did here. We used innovative joining methods to ensure that the gates and shutters had secondary and tertiary means of support with regard to the joinery. We believe the results speak for themselves!
