Giving a dramatic twist to the tired yard of a Spanish Mission house. Modern and rustic blending in a single landscape with dark grey concrete and brick and decomposed granite pathway.

I built this on my property for my aging father who has some health issues. Handicap accessibility was a factor in design. His dream has always been to try retire to a cabin in the woods. This is what he got. It is a 1 bedroom, 1 bath with a great room. It is 600 sqft of AC space. The footprint is 40' x 26' overall. The site was the former home of our pig pen. I only had to take 1 tree to make this work and I planted 3 in its place. The axis is set from root ball to root ball. The rear center is aligned with mean sunset and is visible across a wetland. The goal was to make the home feel like it was floating in the palms. The geometry had to simple and I didn't want it feeling heavy on the land so I cantilevered the structure beyond exposed foundation walls. My barn is nearby and it features old 1950's "S" corrugated metal panel walls. I used the same panel profile for my siding. I ran it vertical to match the barn, but also to balance the length of the structure and stretch the high point into the canopy, visually. The wood is all Southern Yellow Pine. This material came from clearing at the Babcock Ranch Development site. I ran it through the structure, end to end and horizontally, to create a seamless feel and to stretch the space. It worked. It feels MUCH bigger than it is. I milled the material to specific sizes in specific areas to create precise alignments. Floor starters align with base. Wall tops adjoin ceiling starters to create the illusion of a seamless board. All light fixtures, HVAC supports, cabinets, switches, outlets, are set specifically to wood joints. The front and rear porch wood has three different milling profiles so the hypotenuse on the ceilings, align with the walls, and yield an aligned deck board below. Yes, I over did it. It is spectacular in its detailing. That's the benefit of small spaces. Concrete counters and IKEA cabinets round out the conversation. For those who cannot live tiny, I offer the Tiny-ish House.

シアトルにある中くらいな、春のラスティックスタイルのおしゃれな庭 (日陰、ウッドフェンス) の写真

Dry-stack non-mortar hillside terracing with natural stone. Frist, we removed about 3 tons of heavy juniper and then terraced the area in a gorgeous exponentially curving design.

The clients were dismayed by their front-yard view of busy Scott Boulevard in Decatur, but they did not want to be boxed in by an evergreen hedge. Utility wires restricted allowable plants in most areas. Native grasses, wildflowers were combined with native shrubs to screen the busy four-lane road and create four-season interest. Beautyberry, native grasses and "High Shoals" Eastern red cedar shown here.

Project Manager for the North Wards Mayors training and leadership program in collaboration with the NJIT College of Architecture and Design and The Greater Newark Conservancy. Community gardens were designed and built into residential neighborhoods to encourage sustainable communities​ and remove urban blight.​ In this case, an existing garden was renovated and new installations were built to compliment it.

Utility wires restricted allowable plants in most areas. Native grasses, wildflowers were combined with native shrubs to screen the busy four-lane road and create four-season interest. Eastern red cedar, blueberry, broomsedge, little bluestem, and Muhly grass shown here, with redbud and musclewood in the background.

In spring, Deer Grass continues to hold its own among the blooms, forming large mounds of true green.

At the top of the trail, a Western Redbud deepens shade. It's pink blooms and seeds lift the eye from the magenta of Hummingbird Sage blooms and an expansive river-rock-filled divot, designed to help sink stormwater.
