Welcome to our design space at the Pasadena Showcase House of Design. This “oasis” features a beautiful collection of koi fish, gracefully swimming in a 5’x8’ pond. Our modern, clean-cut paver patio is customized to intertwine with large seating boulders. By bringing the pathway right to the edge of the pond, we showcase our favorite cantilever effect. Softening the design, California-friendly plants and a stunning live plant wall surrounds the area, while lights can be seen hanging from the trees, extending the ambiance into the evening hours.

外観は京の街並みになじむ日本家屋、内部はモダンで外国の来客でも寛げる仕様に設計した。日本の伝統の技を京の職人と追及した建築。組子作家と作り上げた組子シャンデリアは1階から見上げると彫刻の様である。通常は屏風に張るような唐紙を壁紙としてふんだんに張り込んだ個室は圧巻である。

The Japanese GardenThe Japanese Garden
This zen garden is located on a central courtyard that connects the kitchen of the house, with the living - dining area and main access hall. As you can see it is glazed on several sides, each view after concluded the work is slightly different. This time, only put a lamp in Japanese style to give the night lighting environment. This is a sample of a Zen garden that carries an implicit minimalist in design. The conditions in the house are basically clear and minimalist tones, it is for that reason that it was decided to this design. Few elements, well distributed, with a mix of different textures, from coarse gravel and dark gray color, contrasting with the white gravel and raked; allows us to balance the wabi sabi and the scene.

Surrounding a stunning black and white-clad multi-storey weatherboard home in Auckland’s Remuera was a garden that was somewhat lacking in vigour. It consisted of planting, some larger trees, and a lack of flow, character or consistency. So when the clients, a retired couple, decided to rejuvenate their tired outdoor space, they approached Zones Landscaping specialist Kate Ryan. Kate’s brief was to create something stunning and vibrant with a tropical resort feel. Set against the striking black and white exterior of this home, the planting needed to be bold yet considered to have the desired effect. Bursts of colour throughout the planting help to tie the overall scheme together and create the striking element sought in the original brief. “We used a lot of sub-tropical plants – birds of paradise for the orange colour, giant bromeliad for their rusty red colour, and lots of greens and yellows as well as rain lilies, which when in flower will create a blanket of white.” The house is located down a long, shared driveway so importance was placed on creating character at the main pedestrian entranceway to the home. Kate managed the initial brief, design phase and then the landscaping itself through until delivery, with the project delivered on time and on budget to clients who say they are thrilled with the modern, striking planting and impressive entranceway. The special feature designed in corten steel is the entrance gate and fence. This mirrored the pattern in the garage door and added a unique feature. A back lit corten cut out of the house numbers adds a perfect addition for the entrance. The clients love this look coming into the property.
