Inspiration for a transitional pool remodel in Austin

Western Red Cedar is used often in exterior timber framing–because it is highly rot resistant. It is also shrinks less as it dries than many other species, and is lightweight, but fairly low in strength. Because rough sawn timber absorbs and holds more stain than surfaced timber, we sometimes suggest to our clients than they consider rough sawn texture outside © Carolina Timberworks

"The three HeatTrak mats shown in these pictures protect the front door entrance to our home in North Central Pennsylvania. With inadequate insulation in our attic and a Northwest front exposure, the steps leading to our front door were always covered with ice for most of the winter. The melting snow from the roof would overflow the gutters and pool on the front steps and landing freezing solid. I used salt but that only degraded the concrete steps and landing. Non salt ice melters worked but made a real mess as we tracked their residue into the house. Then three years ago I found your HeatTrak mats online and bought our first two. This year I added the carpeted mat making three total heated mats. As you can see we now have a safe and ice-free path to our front door. No more slipping, sliding and yes falling (that happened to me before the mats.) I think we'll add another mat next fall. Thanks for a great product." - Mark and Ruth

The Arbutus Marina is a beautiful specimen plant. This shrub can be pruned to expose the lower burgundy branches. It is evergreen and gets a small bell flower in spring. The bloom is followed with fruits that look like strawberries. The fruits begin yellow and as they ripen turn orange and then red. The fruit is edible to humans but very bland. The local birds enjoy the fruit but as it does fall this plant is best in a plant bed where the fruits can be ignored to decompose and give back tot eh soil. It is best away from pavements but is lovely set off from a patio area.

Wild View Farm includes a new “Forever home” (we deconstructed an existing house with a 90% landfill diversion rate), and enhancements to several working barns. The 80 acre site was an original homestead farm from the 1890’s. Both its buildings and soil had become severely degraded. The owners are working to holistically restore this property and make it a model of modern regenerative farming. They are planting hundreds of trees, re-introducing livestock and working with Dryland Agroecology Research and High Plains Permaculture to restore the soil. The -51 HERS rated home is not just energy-efficient - it’s a model of “Regenerative design”. The deep green house design included multiple challenges – foremost was how to create a Passive Solar design that also took full advantage of the massive views to the West. We solved it with an L shaped building that optimized passive and active solar strategies on the south face, then actively protected the western facade with a giant covered porch and tuned glazing. The home’s leading-edge energy package includes a Ground source heat pump, a large roof-mounted solar PV array, battery back-up, EV chargers, and Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV), Energy Star Appliances and windows, a robust foam insulation shell and LED lighting. We also endeavored to craft a modern day interpretation of the farmhouse typology, with a low-slung simple gable-roofed form that would feel like it’s always been there. The exterior material palette of limestone, cementitious stucco and heavy timber gives it a rich Colorado Modern Farmhouse feel. The home is full of custom details like walls of vaulted glass to capture the sweeping mountain views, an AI Smart Home control system, a sleeping loft for kids and guests, a hard-working Butler’s Pantry, a gourmet outdoor kitchen, a pool & spa, a cozy office nook for reading, and a lovely built-in bench for morning coffee. Phase 2 of this project will include a Farmworker ADU and a full renovation of the existing historic barn. Built by Skycastle Construction. Interior Design by Kimball Modern and Rodwin Architecture.

This project started as a repair to a severely age degraded basement wall. With a bit of creative thinking it became an opportunity for creating a daylight basement. See Project Video: Part 1: https://youtu.be/xaDcO0X1wOI Part 2: https://youtu.be/9nGNaCc6Fpw The basement wall repair solution is a new below grade window wall and covered entry door area. The plan for this daylight basement project was to terrace the adjacent grade, allowing for a wall of lower level windows and a set of steps dropping down to a new exterior entry door. We had just enough room in the side yard setback to fit it all in. A daylight basement project such as this is no small matter regarding safety issues. I have a lot of respect for the fearless yet professional manner that Jason Smith of Ozz Construction showed to execute this difficult project. The temporary support shoring allowed the crew enough working room to put in the structural steel and wall framing that holds up the entire south side of the building. The completed daylight basement transforms the feel and functionality of this formally dark and dreary area. This new natural light will be a great improvement to this future finished apartment space.
