I was initially contacted by the builder and architect working on this Modern European Cottage to review the property and home design before construction began. Once the clients and I had the opportunity to meet and discuss what their visions were for the property, I started working on their wish list of items, which included a custom concrete pool, concrete spa, patios/walkways, custom fencing, and wood structures. One of the largest challenges was that this property had a 30% (or less) hardcover surface requirement for the city location. With the lot size and square footage of the home I had limits to how much hardcover we could add to property. So, I had to get creative. We presented to the city the usage of the Live Green Roof plantings that would reduce the hardcover calculations for the site. Also, if we kept space between the Laurel Sandstones walkways, using them as steppers and planting groundcover or lawn between the stones that would also reduce the hard surface calculations. We continued that theme with the back patio as well. The client’s esthetic leaned towards the minimal style, so by adding greenery between stones work esthetically. I chose the Laurel Tumbled Sandstone for the charm and character and thought it would lend well to the old world feel of this Modern European Cottage. We installed it on all the stone walkways, steppers, and patios around the home and pool. I had several meetings with the client to discuss/review perennials, shrubs, and tree selections. Plant color and texture of the planting material were equally important to the clients when choosing. We grouped the plantings together and did not over-mix varieties of plants. Ultimately, we chose a variety of styles from natural groups of plantings to a touch of formal style, which all work cohesively together. The custom fence design and installation was designed to create a cottage “country” feel. They gave us inspiration of a country style fence that you may find on a farm to keep the animals inside. We took those photos and ideas and elevated the design. We used a combination of cedar wood and sandwich the galvanized mesh between it. The fence also creates a space for the clients two dogs to roam freely around their property. We installed sod on the inside of the fence to the home and seeded the remaining areas with a Low Gro Fescue grass seed with a straw blanket for protection. The minimal European style custom concrete pool was designed to be lined up in view from the porch and inside the home. The client requested the lawn around the edge of the pool, which helped reduce the hardcover calculations. The concrete spa is open year around. Benches are on all four sides of the spa to create enough seating for the whole family to use at the same time. Mortared field stone on the exterior of the spa mimics the stone on the exterior of the home. The spa equipment is installed in the lower level of the home to protect it from the cold winter weather. Between the garage and the home’s entry is a pea rock sitting area and is viewed from several windows. I wanted it to be a quiet escape from the rest of the house with the minimal design. The Skyline Locust tree planted in the center of the space creates a canopy and softens the side of garage wall from the window views. The client will be installing a small water feature along the garage for serene noise ambience. The client had very thoughtful design ideas styles, and our collaborations all came together and worked well to create the landscape design/installation. The result was everything they had dreamed of and more for their Modern European Cottage home and property.

Barn - mid-sized rustic detached barn idea

via our website ~ 280 square feet of usable space with 6’0” Jamaica Cottage Shop built double doors ~ large enough to fit your riding lawn mower, snowmobile, snow blower, lawn furniture, and ATVs. This building can be used as a garage ~ the floor system can handle a small to mid-size car or tractor. The open floor plan allows for a great workshop space or can be split up and be used as a cabin. Photos may depict client modifications.

To match the sloped roof and sharp angles on their home, Kathleen and Mark chose a 10’x12’ Premier Pro Lean-To. They added two 61”x10” transom windows on the front wall and one unique 4’ trapezoid transom window on the sidewall. The cedar siding on the Lean-To blends with the home as well, and the Benafel’s plan to treat and stain the siding to match the exterior of the home when the Portland weather cooperates. A metal roof perfectly matching their home’s roof was the cherry on top of an already awesome building. The new storage shed turned out to be exactly what they were looking for, even down to the alignment of the doors. Kathleen is more than pleased with the attention to detail on her new shed, “The installation crew was wonderful, matching the lines in the cedar siding with the doors and walls for a continuous pattern. To have that level of care was great.” They removed the fence in their yard to accommodate more landscaping projects. Neighbors using the nearby bike trail now have a clear view of the new storage shed. “We’re the talk of the neighborhood,” says Kathleen, “Everyone wants to know what that building is and what we’re using it for. We’ve gotten quite a few wild guesses from the neighbors, but really, it’s just a storage shed.”
