This terraced landscape in Vermont flows from a high perch on a contemporary home’s second-story viewing deck through a grassy play space with a fire pit terrace, past mown fields to a swimming pond with a small lake house and on through a wet meadow to a beaver pond beyond. Here at the side of the house, a bread oven sits conveniently outside a screened dining porch on a terrace of Goshen stone from nearby western Massachusetts. Photo by Susan Teare.

Unfolding in a fluid series of experiences, this large garden in Pasadena blends modern and mediterranean styles. The front garden features a modern flagstone walk and plantings in shades of greens and blue-grey. In the center of the property, a flagstone courtyard rings a large Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia), and a new ipe walkway provides a stylish entrance to the back garden's steep upper slope while helping to prevent erosion. In the back of the property, rolling gardens of colorful succulents, shrubs and grasses lead to a meadow of Berkeley Sedge (Carex tumicola) with shimmering olive trees. A large ipe deck, with cut-outs for a mature eucalyptus, beckons at the bottom of the garden.

We bring sound into the garden with trickling water and crackling fire. We invite bees and birds to serenade us with their song. This 3 tiered fountain creates a focal point for homeowners as they enter and exit their home. The falling water is a great example of adding sound to your outdoor space and attracts wildlife to the space.

Amy Birrer I have been working as a kitchen and bath designer in the Pacific Northwest for 13 years. I love engaging with new clients, ascertaining their needs through various interviews and meetings and then collaborating as we build their finished concept together. The variety of design styles, room layouts and function changes so much between one person and the next that no two finished products are remotely the same. This fluidity allows for endless possibilities for exploration in my field. It keeps the job interesting and has always given me a particular sense of reward and accomplishment as we near completion. The greatest personal recompense in this chosen profession is being able to walk with a client through this process and come out the other side with that client feeling elated with the end result.

This beautiful fireplace wanted to be used and to be used it needed to be safe with children. This custom fireplace screen door made of wrought iron and hammered copper was just what it needed.

Large stones and boulders slow the progress of water to the culvert, while the surrounding planting, all water-loving trees, shrubs and perennials, soften the area. © Melissa Clark Photography. All rights reserved.
