A block of compressed, dried coir (coconut husk fiber). Coir soaks up 5 times its weight in water, and holds it in the potting mix for plants. Unlike peat moss, coir won't repel water if it dries out. An abundant byproduct of the coconut industry, it's more sustainable than peat. I still add some peat to potting mixes for acid-loving plants like blueberries, but use coir for all other uses. Photo by Steve Masley

Patio - transitional front yard gravel patio idea in Orange County with no cover

This sculptural bangle table is made from solid Mahogany lumber. Embedded within the lumber core are dual steel cables with turn buckles tightened to compress the circumference of each bangle to avoid fracturing of the end grain. Our craftsman spent over 100 hours carefully sculpting every inch of each bangle to create the final textured, organic look – which was inspired from a tree seen on a hike in Aspen, Colorado. The interior of bangle is wire brushed, exposing the organic texture, then coated in chrome paint, exposing a silver core. The intersecting 3 forms are strategically placed to provide balance and stability.

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.

Troia Light Travertine develops its warm cream and amber tonality across millions of years of sedimentary compression. Cut into a two-piece freestanding pedestal sink — a soft rectangular basin set above a cylindrical column — the geometry is resolved with quiet architectural authority. The honed, partially filled surface leaves authentic textures intact for an earthy, tactile depth, allowing the stone's inherent tonal variance to read as material fact rather than decoration. At 33.5 inches in overall height, this monolithic natural stone fixture occupies a freestanding installation with a visual weight that commands minimalist interiors. Architectural Specifications: • Material: Premium Troia Light Travertine from Turkey • Form: Two-piece freestanding pedestal sink (soft square basin + cylindrical column) • Dimensions: 15" Width x 16" Depth x 33.5" Overall Height • Configuration: 1 Faucet Hole (Designed for a single-hole deck-mount faucet) • Installation: Freestanding / Floor-mount • Finish: Honed and Partially Filled (Matte surface balancing usability with organic texture) • Drain: Compatible with standard 1.5" (4 cm) drain fittings (no overflow) • Design Language: Classic silhouette, Earthy luxury, Monolithic presence`

Indulge your guests in the plush cooling comfort of our premium cool gel memory foam sofa bed mattress with greater cooling properties and comfort benefits than traditional memory foam.

A neutral, organic colour palette was chosen to open up the space, punctuated only by the jet-black stove against dark tiles. The dark tones of the stove ‘block’ heighten the low ceiling and imitates the retained fireplace and blackboard. Photographer: Tony Gatman Auckland, New Zealand.
