Bluestone front walk leads to a fenced in from patio with a colorful garden and sheltered seating area. This design reused 670 square feet of Bluestone from the original design.

This Seattle backyard was transformed into a formal courtyard complete with natural stone paving, stone clad retaining walls and a gas fireplace. We started with Pennsylvania Bluestone paving set on a concrete base, the Bluestone was then continued throughout the landscape with pathways leading from each end of the courtyard to connect with other areas of the landscape. The area was enclosed with seating height retaining walls, clad with Bluestone thin veneer and topped with thermal finished natural stone wall caps. The space was completed with a gas fireplace allowing this timeless space to be used throughout the year.

This beautiful home in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida needed something to make it stand out. We replaced the doors and transom leading to the Courtyard to give the home a warm and one of a kind feel. Heckard's Door

This is a photo of the front facade. When the house was 1st designed, the owners requested a 100% brick skin. After the frame was completed & sheathed, the owners requested a mixed facade of stucco, stone, precast material & brick.....Very challenging. The driveway opening leading to the rear courtyard, is positioned directly over a subterranean tunnel linking the guest quarters to the main house.

A graceful arch separates the "Ferrari" Garage from the street at the front of the home. The Entry door is a custom glass and metal creation built from Ron Darling's design. The "Ferrari" Garage opens into a small hallway that leads to the Great Room or the Private Office which features an all wood ceiling and cabinetry including a humidor.

Doors to the north of this courtyard lead to a pair of ensuite guest rooms, both with soaring wood beamed ceilings. The furniture and tapestries, the scale and grandeur might mean guests never leave

Our client was drawn to the property in Wesley Heights as it was in an established neighborhood of stately homes, on a quiet street with views of park. They wanted a traditional home for their young family with great entertaining spaces that took full advantage of the site. The site was the challenge. The natural grade of the site was far from traditional. The natural grade at the rear of the property was about thirty feet above the street level. Large mature trees provided shade and needed to be preserved. The solution was sectional. The first floor level was elevated from the street by 12 feet, with French doors facing the park. We created a courtyard at the first floor level that provide an outdoor entertaining space, with French doors that open the home to the courtyard.. By elevating the first floor level, we were able to allow on-grade parking and a private direct entrance to the lower level pub "Mulligans". An arched passage affords access to the courtyard from a shared driveway with the neighboring homes, while the stone fountain provides a focus. A sweeping stone stair anchors one of the existing mature trees that was preserved and leads to the elevated rear garden. The second floor master suite opens to a sitting porch at the level of the upper garden, providing the third level of outdoor space that can be used for the children to play. The home's traditional language is in context with its neighbors, while the design allows each of the three primary levels of the home to relate directly to the outside.
