Project Description:
After meeting with the client and visiting the site for the first time we were able to get a pretty good understanding of the overall site. The back yard is a rather small area that was mostly taken up by a cement patio and walkway with a few timber planter boxes that bordered the garage. There was however a small area of lawn but it was in rather poor shape. The client wanted to completely wipe the slate clean and start over with a completely new design. They wanted all of the cement busted out and removed, all of the existing plants dug up and discarded (with the exception of a few), a damaged portion of the fence removed and the entire area completely regraded. Their only request was to leave the existing stacked stone wall at the back of the property in tact and all of the other fencing that bordered the property. they wanted to create an outdoor space that was big enough to entertain a small party without making the whole area hardscape. They also wanted to make sure that a small area of grass was incorporated into the new design so that their dog would have some area to play. After the homeowners had the area re-designed and they recieved a final drawing from the designer, we could begin to do our demolition and installation work.
In order to successfully accomplish all of the clients goals along with the designers visions of the new back yard, a lot of re-grading had to occur. This grading would allow for the slope of the new patio and lawn to be very gradual and would eliminate having to build any retaining walls or steps.. The whole back yard sloped downhill back into the foundation of the house. So in order for us to construct a new patio and eliminate water from flowing back towards the house, a drain had to be installed to carry the water off of the patio and into the plant bed. After all of the demolition and excavation was completed we then focused on getting the slope of the patio and walkway just right. We made sure that the slope was gradual enough so a table and chairs could easily be implemented but steep enough to make sure that there would be no flat areas where water would pool. We also took into consideration the final heights of the proposed fire pit and raised planter bed. We decided to make one small change to the original plan with the clients approval. We installed a small raised portion of the patio along the side of the raised planter wall to designate an area for outdoor grilling. As we were doing all of the preperation work before any construction, we also installed a complete Hunter irrigation system for all of the new plants and lawn area Every other aspect of the designers specifications were installed accordingly with the exception of a few material substitutes.
After we were able to get the area exactly how we wanted it and the irrigation system was complete, we could start the construction. We used all Techo-Bloc materials for all of the hardscapes. Their Inca collection was used for the patio and walkway. Their Mini Creta 3&6 block was used to construct the raised planter wall and was capped with Portifino Coping. The fire pit was their Valencia edition complete with the accessory kit. We sodded the designated area for the lawn and planted all of the specified plants in their proposed locations. The new fence was constructed by a local fencing company where they were able to match the materials to the trellis's and arbor that they installed.
After the project was completed, the homeowners were very happy with their new outdoor entertainment space. We were able to successfully accomplish all of their goals and give them the opportunity to enjoy their new back yard.

An Industrial styled kitchen with a monochrome design and a splash of blue makes for a sophisticated collection of textures and materials in a space perfect for entertaining. The large format tiles on the floor make the space seem bigger. The feature angle poise lights from the ceiling above the island are an unusual way of using lighting to make a statement. Metro tile splashback is a classic look but still in keeping with the retro feel.
Matt White kitchen with a contrast coloured island means the “work” side of the kitchen is hidden into the walls and the island is the thing to catch your eye first.
Polished concrete floor from Lazenby’s adds to the desired industrial aesthetic and is a great way to bounce light into a basement space.
Large black pendant lights compliment the black framing on the Clement windows Crittall Glazing beautifully. Its worth noting the way the light catches on the framing and casts shadows on the wall. – This is a great way of manipulating light to create a dynamic feature - no need for artwork!

Ward Jewell Architect AIA
Ward Jewell, AIA was asked to design a comfortable one-story stone and wood pool house that was "barn-like" in keeping with the owner’s gentleman farmer concept. Thus, Mr. Jewell was inspired to create an elegant New England Stone Farm House designed to provide an exceptional environment for them to live, entertain, cook and swim in the large reflection lap pool.
Mr. Jewell envisioned a dramatic vaulted great room with hand selected 200 year old reclaimed wood beams and 10 foot tall pocketing French doors that would connect the house to a pool, deck areas, loggia and lush garden spaces, thus bringing the outdoors in. A large cupola “lantern clerestory” in the main vaulted ceiling casts a natural warm light over the graceful room below. The rustic walk-in stone fireplace provides a central focal point for the inviting living room lounge. Important to the functionality of the pool house are a chef’s working farm kitchen with open cabinetry, free-standing stove and a soapstone topped central island with bar height seating. Grey washed barn doors glide open to reveal a vaulted and beamed quilting room with full bath and a vaulted and beamed library/guest room with full bath that bookend the main space.
The private garden expanded and evolved over time. After purchasing two adjacent lots, the owners decided to redesign the garden and unify it by eliminating the tennis court, relocating the pool and building an inspired "barn". The concept behind the garden’s new design came from Thomas Jefferson’s home at Monticello with its wandering paths, orchards, and experimental vegetable garden. As a result this small organic farm, was born. Today the farm produces more than fifty varieties of vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers; many of which are rare and hard to find locally. The farm also grows a wide variety of fruits including plums, pluots, nectarines, apricots, apples, figs, peaches, guavas, avocados (Haas, Fuerte and Reed), olives, pomegranates, persimmons, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and ten different types of citrus. The remaining areas consist of drought-tolerant sweeps of rosemary, lavender, rockrose, and sage all of which attract butterflies and dueling hummingbirds.

The client wanted glass to make the room feel open and clean, so we placed the tub faucet on the low wall below the glass partition. The shower is on the other side and we did the same with the shower handle. It makes it easy to reach in both instances. Design wise, it also saves room to put the shower and tub in the "wet" area.

Key to making the pool feel like it was a part of this 19th century home was to integrate the new outdoor living spaces with the Porch and Family Room. The new pool deck was designed to extend right up to the foundation of the existing wrap-around Porch, which was re-supported on large boulders. Space was carved out below the Porch to create double-door access to Storage, and the existing Family Room, Bathroom, and second Laundry area on the Lower Level.

A slotted Drawer Knife Holder (DKH) keeps blades sharp, while a chop block (CBD) is conveniently located in the adjacent drawer. The chopping block has storage space below and is removable from the drawer for countertop use.
Soaring mountain peaks, rugged terrain, and old pine forests appeal to a large audience of outdoor adventures. Regardless of whether your mountain experience includes skiing, fly-fishing, hiking, or lounging by the fireplace, the majestic grandeur and awe of the mountains have inspired a unique, architectural style.
Rustic woods and equally rustic finishes are a notable feature of “Mountain” architecture. A massive, stone fireplace is another definitive focal point. Furnishings are imposing and luxurious, design elements are grand scale, and natural textures and surfaces (stone, wood, burnished, metals, etc/) are expertly blended. Rustic woods and distressed finishes are a perfect complement to “Mountain Resort” styling.

Award Level: Gold
Photo Description:
This project exemplifies good design, craftsmanship, hard work and excellent communication between client and designer/contractor. In the first meeting the client told us “we would think she was crazy for wanting to do what she had in mind for her back yard”. We disagreed and brought her vision as an Art Teacher to life. We worked out several layouts and went over the possibilities before deciding on one to refine.
The project focused on utilizing the entire yard, and creating individual “use” spaces, that flowed to one another. A large concern for the project was neighboring views and creating privacy on this elevated site. An additional concern was site access and how limited it was. In order to access the site we could only use a 34” walkway along the left side of the house.
The use spaces were created by determine functions the client wished to have including outdoor cooking and dining, relaxing by a fire, sun bathing, refreshing in a swim spa, somewhere to garden, and somewhere to just hang out and listen to nature.
Being elevated from the site we knew we would have to create levels, in order to reduce the dis-connect from the top level to the garden area.
By creating a mid level we were able to accomplish a continueing space and accomplish a function space for sun bathing and spa area. The requset for a swim spa gave way to a semi built in spa for size and overall budget concerns, yet still allows for refreshing in the summer, and adds therapeutic benefit the rest of the year. This area alos features an outdoor shower, built in bench area, that additionally works as a spa cover hideaway that rolls in and out and plenty of room for lounge chairs.
The lowest level of the garden brings you the feel of hanging out in a much larger space with the sounds of the water feature and fine textured specimen plantings. It also provides space for gardening and storage in a custom built shed to tie in with the house and garden architecture.
The upper most space holds the most used function of the garden for cooking, dining, hanging out by the built in fire feature or sitting at the bar watching TV on the outdoor weather proof set. Amenities of the kitchen include 36” stainless steel grill, ice maker, refrigerator, bar sink, and various stainless steel storage areas. A built in outdoor TV is also located in this area as well as an exterior ceiling fan. The total kitchen space is covered by a custom built painted cellular vinyl pergola to look like cedar without the maintenance. A retractable cover and blinds were also installed to shade the cooking and entertaining area. Off the kitchen area is dining and living space also covered with a second pergola structure that ties in to the main one. This area also holds the fire feature to extend the season and provide interest from below.
All areas of the garden have zoned irrigation, and line and low voltage lighting. The color scheme was derived around the idea of natural tones that would blend with the house and allow garden plantings and accents to provide the pops of color. While the custom screening and plant material provide a sense of intimacy in this elevated site. The fine attention to details of use of materials on this site exemplifies our staffs craftsmanship, dedication, strong work ethic and wide range of skills.

Serenity now…that’s what I thought when I first saw this gorgeous bathroom. You remember that line in the movies, a weary Mom, stressed out, pleading for some serenity. This bath is the answer to her plea. The soft swirling colors, soothing yet interesting. The spaciousness, the crispness of the white fixtures and vanity, those decorative round mirrors and sophisticated lighting. Awwww.
This lovely home featured two baths. One in the hall, mostly for guest and the other adjoining a bedroom. What the home really needed was a workable Master Bath and a hallway Powder Room. So, we borrowed some space from the hall bath, adding to the new Master as a Shower, leaving just enough space for the perfect Powder Room in the hall. The existing bedroom bath space gave us plenty of room for a relaxing tub, a semi-private alcove for the toilet and a luxurious vanity with counter space.And what a vanity it is. Our homeowners fell in love and pre-purchased it for the bath. The 48″ Elizabeth Solid wood vanity features an Italian Carrara Marble counter top with a undermount rectangular white sink. The faucet is a Neo wide-spread in crisp, clean chrome. Chrome knobs adorn the drawers will decorative pulls grace the doors. The vanity is truly furniture, with layers of moldings and decorative feet. The Carrara Marble backsplash has an angular curve, for distinctive style. All of this is illuminated by the simple yet elegant wall sconces. Frosted glass and brilliant chrome reflect a softened white light.Semi private. The alcove offers a little privacy while not being claustrophobic. What you don’t see, until you look up, is the ceiling. It’s all the special details that make this bathroom over the top. A swirl of color surrounds the area with a marble wainscot with accent tiles, with just a hint of a textured wall peeking through. But the ceiling, that’s unique. We installed a decorative and molding detailed tray ceiling around a simple recessed light.
Here’s my awww moment, the tub. In the picture of the alcove ceiling did you notice the tub area peaking through? We took that same tray ceiling feature and added it to the bathtub area as well. The small pass through to the rest of the bath keeps the space feeling open while drawing the eye upward. Note that the detailed molding in the tray ceiling are repeated with the crown molding, all around the bath. Surrounded with the beauty of marble and featuring a water fall spout, this tub is inviting and relaxing. The deep bathtub welcomes you with arm and head rests for even greater relaxation. For a dramatic accent, the glamorous silver round mirror.For the extra wow factor, we got jets. Whirlpool jets make this bathing experience relaxing and healing, all at the same time. Light the candles, a glass of wine, it’s every woman’s dream. Most men’s too, although they might not admit it. See that peak of marble mosaic? The natural stone tiling this is bath is spectacular. Our “area rug” feature was created using a border of Pietra Art Bliss 5/8″ x 5/8″ Glass Blend in “Norwegian Ice” with an insert of Stone Partnership Basket Weave in Bianco Carrara with a Bardiglio Dot. The area is set into a floor of Stone Partnership 12″ x 12″ floor tile of “Bianco Carrara”.
The “area rug” and Bianco Carrara leads you to the new shower area, and what a shower it is. A clean, clear glass, frameless shower door with chrome trim welcomes you to the spa colored shower. For ease of use three towel bars and a hook hold your towels in place until you need them. Below the wainscot trim, the walls continue the swirling natural stone of 9″ x 18″ Florida Tile with a finishing Pencil of N.B.S. Pencil Liner, Marble 7 Avalone. Above the pencil, the Pietra Art Bliss 5/8″ x 5/8″ Glass Blend in “Norwegian Ice”. We have two shower heads. One for a soothing rainshower effect and the second is a handheld with slide bar for multiple positioning and spray.For attractive storage, and why shouldn’t storage be attractive, we installed a large niche. We took the Pietra Art Bliss 5/8″ x 5/8″ Glass Blend in “Norwegian Ice” mosaic into our niche and framed it with the Marble 7 Avalone pencil.A door is just a door, unless it’s a pocket door. With crown moldings and tray ceilings, we had to go the extra mile and put in a raised panel pocket door. No more worrying about hitting the tub or vanity with the swing of a door. We have all our controls for the heated floor systems in the shower and main floor located by the door. The bath flows from area to area and maintains it’s beauty with the help of the wainscoting. The height runs around all the walls, including the bath tub area, no small backsplash would do here. A top a cut row of our Bianco Carrara flooring we installed 9″ x 18″ Florida Tile all around in a horizontal brick pattern with staggered joints and was topped with two rows of Pietra Art Bliss 5/8″ x 5/8″ Glass Blend in “Norwegian Ice” mosaics and finished with the Pencil from N.B.S., Marble 7 Avalone. And a subtle but intriguing feature, the painted brick wall. We could have covered it with drywall, but we let that touch of texture peek through a couple of coats of paint. The finished affect, perfect.
