When this homeowner’s neighbor removed two, two- story-high Ficus trees, her side-yard became baron and sunbaked. Concrete covers virtually the whole area from the house to the property line, but because the side-yard has a lot of foot traffic and serves as a sitting area to the basement apartment, the owner did not want to remove any of the concrete. The solution was to put up fencing to block the view of the neighbor’s house, then upcycle wine barrels and 55-gallon drums into huge planters. The drums are large enough to accommodate a full-sized tree and provide the added advantage of giving height to smaller trees to provide further screening of the neighbor’s house. Everything was painted in bright colors to give the space a cheery Caribbean feel. The neighbor’s tree removal ended up as a blessing in disguise, because what had been a drab trough-way was transformed into a happy patio.

The masculine yet cozy family room is a perfect entertainers dream. The built-in bar with the stunning zinc counter top and rustic knotty alder cabinets by Dura Supreme is a great hang out spot. Seedy glass in the cabinet doors with leather trimmed pulls by Atlas.

Materials bear the tracks of time. Fade achieves a worn look through an eroded surface and the visible tracks of time. The impression of gradual handcrafted repairs and alterations has been combined with trend-setting neutral colours, perfect for creating avant-garde settings with all the essence and flavour of the past.

Columbia Stone designed and installed the 23,000 square feet of French limestone cladding that was utilized on the exterior of a private residence in San Francisco, CA. The project included 2" thick typical cladding with 2 3/4" thick bands to create a reveal, as well as, carved columns, carved balustrades, carved cornices, carved window surrounds, cubic parapet caps, and carved chimney enclosures. The project provided several serious challenges including water control, waterproofing, and the fact that the location was very tight. The site only allowed for 10 feet of clearance on each side of the building and a 2-4 story elevation difference from front to back. Due to the soft nature of French limestone, extreme care hat to be taken in handling the stone. The selection and inspection of the material was a full-time job for Columbia's inspector in France, who reviewed each of the approximately 6,000 pieces prior to shipping. From start to finish, this beautiful residence took 5 years to complete.

This redesign of an outdated landscape for a waterfront home on Cape Cod reacts directly to the site conditions and existing topography. An elevated septic system has been regraded and replanted with native species to more fluidly blend with the undulations of the natural landscape, while a fountain and reflecting pool mark the level of the 100-year flood, to which the site is susceptible. The shifting series of wood decks and boardwalks appear to float and hint at the natural processes at work on the site, while providing outdoor dining and relaxation areas anchored by a bold red screen fence that ties the landscape to the architecture.
