Used the idea of flowing water as inspiration in this design that creates meandering paths throughout the property.

The project’s starting point was to understand the building’s original post and beam structure and to use that internal logic to formulate a sympathetic remodel. With an emphasis on the upper back unit, the owner’s private residence within this recently purchased Edward Killingsworth triplex, the first order of business was to strip the excess out and to return the complex to something that resembled the original. With a limited budget, the tact was to restore where possible, and to insert where needed, but always with a sympathetic eye. The kitchen quickly became the primary focus and it was soon realized that by removing the division between the existing galley and family room that the essence of the structural system could be revealed. Once opened the datum of the layered beams was adhered to with the kitchen reinforcing this overhead water line. The primary internal wall was then highlighted with a new wood veneer with the refrigerator recessed (borrowing a bit of space from the master closet) and the existing heater chromed.

This photo is showing a close-up of the stream that feeds a waterfall we created at a change in the grade elevation. We used natural sandstone boulders with pre-cast artificial rock panels to create the desired effect.
It is a section of a rock lined creek-stream water feature, that we built, which is over 200' long. It is located underneath a grove of oaks that provides plenty of shade and partial sun for the ferns and other shade loving plants.
The landscape was designed by the homeowners and is meticulously maintained.

Ever notice in old classic movies how distracting fake scenery looks outside, say, a car that actors are supposedly traveling in?
Well, that’s true in landscaping as well. Creating a serene outdoor scene that looks natural — like Mother Nature sculpted it — requires knowing what elements will make it appear genuine.
For example, whenever we design and build a new water feature or landscape wall, moss rock is always part of the design. www.deckandpatio.com
