This stunning outdoor room in Round Rock, TX, is the epitome of rustic elegance. The space consists of a covered patio with a corner fireplace. The beams and ceiling of the space were built using aromatic cedar with custom decorative brackets to add character. The corner fireplace was built using white limestone to match the exterior of the home and features a mantel and hearth built from leuder's stone.

Although the flowers are monochromatic for the most part (white) there is always interest in the garden due to the variety of texture, size and color of the foliage.

The plan expresses the owner’s casual lifestyle and need for a variety of spaces strongly connected to the outdoors. Central Texas materials, such as native limestone and aromatic cedar, are chosen for their regional appropriateness and are deployed and detailed in ways designed to further integrate the house with its natural surroundings. The house comprises approximately 5900 square feet of living space wrapped around a hillside courtyard, and was completed in 2005.

Hanging lights provide soft area lighting in this front garden for a Craftsman style house. This front yard features a seating area and jar fountain, ringed by aromatic native plantings of California Lilac, Manzanita, Cleveland Sage. A meadow-style planting of native sedge grasses create soft look in the foreground, and new concrete pavers add a modern touch. We also believe the project’s driveway to be among the prettiest we’ve created or seen: a ribbon of stones and grasses now meanders along a Hollywood-style center planting area.
