Kraft Custom ConstructionAfter completing an interior remodel for this mid-century home in the South Salem hills, we revived the old, rundown backyard and transformed it into an outdoor living room that reflects the openness of the new interior living space. We tied the outside and inside together to create a cohesive connection between the two. The yard was spread out with multiple elevations and tiers, which we used to create “outdoor rooms” with separate seating, eating and gardening areas that flowed seamlessly from one to another. We installed a fire pit in the seating area; built-in pizza oven, wok and bar-b-que in the outdoor kitchen; and a soaking tub on the lower deck. The concrete dining table doubled as a ping-pong table and required a boom truck to lift the pieces over the house and into the backyard. The result is an outdoor sanctuary the homeowners can effortlessly enjoy year-round.

Archadeck of AustinThe deck we designed for these clients is elevated but not high enough to require railings. In the areas where a step down was needed, we created a wide, deep step running the length or width of the deck. These wide steps can even provide a convenient place to sit!

building Lab, inc.Eichler in Marinwood - At the larger scale of the property existed a desire to soften and deepen the engagement between the house and the street frontage. As such, the landscaping palette consists of textures chosen for subtlety and granularity. Spaces are layered by way of planting, diaphanous fencing and lighting. The interior engages the front of the house by the insertion of a floor to ceiling glazing at the dining room.
Jog-in path from street to house maintains a sense of privacy and sequential unveiling of interior/private spaces. This non-atrium model is invested with the best aspects of the iconic eichler configuration without compromise to the sense of order and orientation.

Hsu McCulloughWith a backdrop of the Great Room -Dining, Kitchen and Living Room -using celebrated dark bronze Fleetwood Aluminum multi-slide glass doors, the backyard garden is an expansive lush mixture of flowers and mature trees with patio, outdoor dining pergola and swimming pool beyond: perfect for entertaining.
The outdoor garden imparts an unmistakeable romantic theme - immediately welcoming as well as comfortable for relaxing and playing at home while offering a relief from creative work at the detached music studio.
The home reflects the Owners and Hsu McCullough's shared belief in the integration of architecture and nature - the building responds to it’s environment rather than imposing itself on it’s setting.
Mockingbird HomeThis midcentury gem was in need a little detailing outside. By using an open trellis detail from the existing fence, we were able to break up the long empty walls of the facade and provide just the right detail to this modern landscape.

This connection was certainly amplified with the inclusion of a modern granite Harbor Grey™ stone patio, generously sized to accomodate entertaining under the stars.

FormLA LandscapingThe Aoyagi's protect their shade with their tree succession plan. When a well established Eucalyptus failed, they replaced it with this young Sycamore. It was planted quite small to ensure its success and in just three years effectively shades the patio.
