Elegant entryway photo in Houston

Initially devoid of a front garden, the space featured only a century-old arborvitae hedge on a sloped bed. Our transformation included the construction of a retaining wall with elegant columns, displaying a curated collection of handmade pots. A new hedge was introduced, housing Mediterranean trees like olive, bay, and guava. The courtyard and gravel garden bed, layered with decomposed granite, minimize mud accumulation. The addition of lighting and irrigation ensures both aesthetic appeal and the garden's overall health, creating a simple yet captivating oasis for the family and their neighbors to enjoy.

When owners contacted us they were looking for a new look for their kitchen: definitely white, beautiful and functional at the same time, with granite countertops, window bench and dining space. Working together we created the new space they will enjoy for many years to come. Custom-made kitchen cabinets from Crystal Cabinets Work, high quality, durable windows from Marvin Windows and Doors, Caesarstone granite countertops and other high end products accumulated all in one kitchen for functionality, for pleasure and excitements.

Open Graded crushed stone base with proper drainage grid was installed to effectively address water accumulation. Quality Permeable Concrete Paver Patio was installed to successfully absorb any rain water AND re-route raising ground water to the new drainage system. Another water problem solved, and Owners gained a beautiful hard surface patio to enjoy.

This organic modern design is built in an area known for having notable issues with ground movement. After speaking with the developer and reviewing the soil report with our Structural Engineer, we made our recommendations to the client. Since the budget for a full-blown pier and beam structure with void boxes under the pool was well beyond the comfort level of our client, they elected to have us utilize a float shell construction method. For this, we over-excavated the hole and placed a 12" layer of gravel beneath the shell of the pool. Drain lines lead from the deepest point under the pool down into a culvert, placed off to the side of the pool. A sump pump removes any excess water from the culvert as it accumulates. For the shell of the pool, we utilized a double matt of steel and increased the wall thickness to a minimum of 12". This gave added strength to withstand the volatile soil. The elements of fire, water, wood and stone were very important in creating the organic modern feel of this design. The layered effect along the back wall creates a visual stimulation across the length of the yard, without overwhelming the senses. Rather than creating walls only of hard materials, we used Ipe wood to create horizontal screen walls of a more organic nature. At either end, the raised wall and the fire feature are finished in a large-scale porcelain tile, with the look of stained concrete. Custom stainless steel scuppers, made by a local fabricator, create a soothing sound of falling water. The low wall at the center of the project is faced in natural ledgestone, and carries a color palette that set the tone for the entire project. Behind this wall and in front of one of the Ipe screens are three Desert Steel Giant Agave sculptures. The unique fire feature isn't quite a fire place, nor is it a fire pit. It is a linear fire burner, surrounded by a 4" thick cantilevered Leuder limestone hearth, with a backdrop wall of blue glazed clay tile. Although the pool was initially planned as a plaster pool, as the project began to take shape, the client elected to go all the way and finish it in a beautiful blue glass mosaic. Custom fabricated stainless steel cannon jets send a delicate arch of water over this deep blue, and draw attention to the three square wok planters on the far side of the yard. For the decking on this project, we elected to work with Mother Nature rather than against her. Two and a half inch thick concrete pavers, set on a bed of compacted, decomposed granite allow for movement around the pool that is easily fixed. If an area of deck moves around, we can simply lift the affected areas, re-level with DG bed, and re-set the pavers.

The living Room was a challenging room for client. This large room that was never used because it was a pass through room in the house. We were able to create two separate seating areas and still allow for a walkway. They wanted to be able to hold large family gatherings in this space so we made sure to include plenty of seating (total seating for 12). We also incorporated wonderful keepsakes the client had accumulated from her world travels. The Persian rugs and the black carved storage chest became a perfect coffee table with a custom piece of glass cut to protect. The vibrant color palette paired with the black accents makes a great statement in this home.

Trendsetting design and price | Do you have a demanding nature and consistently follow your style but realise that this does not simply mean accumulating as many things as possible? At Hansgrohe, we believe that the art is in the simplification and that clear design focuses on the basics. This minimalistic principle also forms the basis for the design of the Hansgrohe Talis S mixer range. It is slender, stylish and fitted with an unconventional pin handle.
