Bent Corner with Continuous Standing Seam Metal roofing - Hi, who was your Standing Seam manufacturer? Did they have to do something special to get the sharp bend in the standing seam and still have a continuous rib? It's quite clean and sharp. Thanks. »
dear eisner - your designs are breathtaking! what conditions must exist for one to paint the interior of window frames white (when they used to be black)? And what do you try to convey when you feel it's appropriate to do so? Im struggling with whether to paint my frames white as well... Thanks! »
plaidpony i think that since the exterior is very plain and white, that the black frame on the windows adds needed contrast. do you need contrast on your interior or exterior? because you don't need to do both. just my 2 cents. good luck :)
This breathtaking landscape offers a very modern take on the clean and manicured style of the classic English garden. The chairs fit right into this aesthetic, offering an easy classic comfort while retaining the symmetry and clean lines of the place.
2. Repetition and simplicity. Often the installation of a pool really mucks up the grounds. You don't have to wait years for plants and flowers to mature if you go for a more modernist approach. The simplicity of grass with a simple band of stone around the pool, coupled with the structured repetition of boxwoods, define the pool area of this home and yard.
I find the single, double-height column supporting the generous cantilevered roof here very appealing. It might have been possible to pull off the roof without the column, but its presence is a strong anchor to the outdoor space; the eye is led immediately to the column.
This larger rectangular pool stays balanced with a scale in proportion to the house and yard. The darker pool finish reflects the home, visually connecting the two spaces.
