They are truly versatile in their craft! We're flattered when our light fixtures are selected for these grand homes. There is a striking understanding of design, proportion, space, texture and material selection, that makes each structure a true work of art. We look forward to many projects to come. Thanks! The Bevolo Team **★★★★★ — Georgia Classic Pool, Feb. 2014** > We had the great opportunity to work with Howard Design Studio on a couple of projects in the Atlanta area recently. Their attention to detail and vast ideas and concepts were very impressive. We build a lot of high quality pool projects and outdoor living spaces in the Atlanta area and working with this group opened us up to a lot of new ideas. **★★★★★ — Emily Followill Photography, Jan. 2013** > John Howard and his team have created many of the most incredible residential landscapes in the Atlanta area and beyond. I have had the pleasure of photographing many of his projects. To have a peak behind the garden walls he has created is like going into a fairy tale. The designs are gorgeous with no detail left unturned. Truly a joy to work with and watching his gardens come alive early in the morning was a delightful! ## Selected projects - [Boxwood House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/boxwood-house-pj-vj~234242) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Fairfield](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fairfield-pj-vj~199328) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Classic Georgian Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-georgian-garden-pj-vj~77508) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Oakmont Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oakmont-cottage-pj-vj~407056) - Location: Atlanta, GA - Photos: 7 - Description: A Cotwwold Style house and garden just outside of Atlanta, Georgia.
