Living room - industrial open concept concrete floor living room idea in Portland with gray walls and a standard fireplace

Creating environments that encourage our families to spend more time outdoors is important in today’s hi-tech world. Designed for the 2014 Chicago Flower and Garden show, this display garden captures a playful sensibility well-suited for any family to enjoy. The clean, modern lines and carefully planned spaces of this 50’ by 50’ garden form an enticing setting to simply unplug. Working within a very limited area, the design organizes a bio pool with sundeck, a spillover water feature and lounge area, and a gravel dining terrace with a built-in fireplace and shade tree canopy. Unlike traditional pools, our bio pool utilizes aquatic plants, beneficial bacteria, and microbes, rather than harsh chemicals, to filter the water. Impurities and excess nutrients are drawn out of the water naturally, creating a much healthier swimming environment. A native plant palette is incorporated throughout the garden with shade trees, ornamentals, native forbs, and perennials in an emergent spring landscape. We hope this exciting design will encourage green inspiration for visitors, whether they have a tight city lot or a larger suburban property.

Natural swimming pools, like our most recent in Komoka ON, offer a viable alternative to traditional pools that use a harsh blend of chemicals to maintain water safety. Natural pools instead function as miniature ecosystems, with plant life and healthy bacteria working to keep the water pristine. These water features often take the form of a natural pond, and their versatile nature allows them to seamlessly blend into any environment. Best of all, the water in a natural swimming pool won't irritate human skin and these pools require far less maintenance than a standard swimming pool.

This is an organic Lime Wash done with a true lime wash product as opposed to a brick mortar or concrete that is often seen on new houses. This product can be applied as a solid coating making the surface completely white, or can be applied and "washed off" in many artistic ways, as seen here.
