This is the ever evolving garden at Larkspur Design. We are always “editing” the space. Why? Because as our plants grow and evolve, sometimes they need to be moved, replaced, pruned, divided…. Gardens always have so much to teach us! We aim to provide habitat for birds and frogs, by incorporating a water source, nesting habitat, and shrubs that produce berries for foraging. Build it and they will come!

The outdoor kitchen, hot tub, tiered gardens, living and dining areas as well as a formal lawn provide ample space for enjoyment year round. Photographs courtesy of The Richards Group.

This home renovation project is aimed at upgrading various features of the house. It includes the installation of beautiful and striking light fixtures that will add an elegant touch to the ambiance. The project also involves the application of unique and eye-catching wallpaper that will give the walls a fresh and modern look. Additionally, the renovation will feature a sleek and contemporary glass staircase that will not only add to the house's aesthetic appeal but also provide a safe and functional means of accessing the upper floors.

Madrona Passive House, a new Seattle home designed by SHED Architecture & Design and built by Hammer & Hand, combines contemporary design with high performance building to create an environmentally responsive and resource-efficient house. The home’s airtight, super-insulated building envelope and passive design minimize energy consumption while providing superior thermal comfort to occupants. A heat recovery ventilator supplies constant fresh air to the home’s interior while recovering 90% of thermal energy from exhaust air for reuse inside. A rooftop solar photovoltaic array will provide enough energy to offset most, perhaps all, of the home’s energy consumption on a net annual basis. To manage stormwater the project employs permeable pavers for site hardscape and two cisterns to capture and control rainwater from the home’s roof and the green roof on the garage. By investing in sustainable site development strategies, efficient building systems and an advanced envelope, the project aims to respect the home’s environmentally critical site and achieve one of the world’s most demanding building energy standards: Passive House.

Inspiration for a mid-century modern l-shaped gray floor kitchen remodel in Los Angeles with an undermount sink, flat-panel cabinets, dark wood cabinets, beige backsplash, stainless steel appliances and an island

The Sub Zero refrigerator is just visible over the Franke sink with Dorn Bracht faucet providing a nice contemporary touch. The veining in the Zebrino Marble countertop is very visible in this shot, giving the eye great horizontal touches to the 12' island. The high ceilings are also clear here, and during the remodel were a must have for the client to open up the space. The blue door leads to a walk in pantry that was also done by the designer (sorry, no pictures). This left the client with more than enough kitchen storage, and allowed Elisabeth the flexibility to use storage as functional or decorative, hence the open shelving.

This mudroom had a typical closet that was removed to make way for full height cabinetry in black with a white oak frame around the coat hanging space. Drawers under the bench provided added space for shoes and accessories.

Project Overview: The Backyard Renovation 3D Rendering project was developed to visually communicate the design intent and vision for a residential outdoor space. The project aimed to provide clear and engaging representations for both the contractor and the homeowner's association, facilitating a shared understanding of the proposed enhancements. Key Features: 1. New Driveway with Automatic Gates: The design features a contemporary driveway equipped with automated gates, providing convenience and improved security for the property. 2. Exercise Gym with Yoga Area: A dedicated space for fitness activities that includes both a traditional exercise gym and a serene yoga area, encouraging an active and healthy lifestyle. 3. Coffee Station with Juice Bar: This inviting area is designed for relaxation and socialization, featuring a coffee station complemented by a juice bar to enhance outdoor entertaining. 4. Secluded Meditation Space: A tranquil retreat is included, featuring a soothing wall fountain, cold plunge, and sauna, all surrounded by lush tropical vegetation to create an oasis for relaxation and mindfulness. 5. Lush Tropical Vegetation: The landscaping incorporates a variety of tropical plants that enhance privacy, beautify the space, and contribute to the overall calming atmosphere of the outdoor environment. Project Goals: The main goals of the project were to: • Visualize the backyard renovation to gain approval from the homeowner’s association. • Facilitate collaboration with the contractor by providing detailed renderings. • Create an aesthetically appealing and functional outdoor living space that meets the lifestyle needs of the homeowners. The 3D renderings successfully encapsulated the vision for the backyard renovation, presenting a harmonious blend of design and functionality. The visualizations served as a critical tool in moving forward with the project, ensuring clarity in communication and direction for all stakeholders involved.
