Design ideas for a landscaping in Sydney.

The renovation of the Graham house resulted in a nearly entirely new house; all that remains of the existing 1940’s ranch house is the foundation. As such, the floor plan design was informed by the footprint of the existing house, but the layout is entirely new. Its massing is a series of minimal boxes linked with glass enclosed rooms, which house the main entry and the living and dining rooms. The house sits in among an oak grove, two natural streams, and a wealth of mature landscaping; room orientation and window locations are keyed to specific existing landscape features accordingly, and the south-facing deck steps down from the house to allow for an unobstructed view to the hillside gardens. Interior walls were designed to display the Grahams extensive art collection, and in general the spaces are tuned toward maximizing natural light. The materials palette is simple and refined, with colors and textures drawn from the site. Photography by Marion Brenner

When this non-descript three-story brick row house was purchased by the client, it was stripped completely bare. The owner sought to add additional space, which was achieved by extending the rear of the home by a full 16 feet on the parlor, second and third levels. This not only provided roomier living spaces indoors, it created the opportunity to outfit each reconfigured floor with identical balconies. These outcroppings, finished with matte black railings and full NanaWall folding glass doors, provide the ideal outdoor space for relaxing and entertaining, while creating a harmonious uniformity to the rear façade.

HNA Hardscape Project Award Winner Stark Residence Davey, Nebraska Paver Designs LLC The pool deck and entertainment area required three different levels, with several retaining walls to support each level. 72 LED ledge lights illuminate walls, columns and steps. Light colored pavers were used to minimize heat. The minimum base depth for this project was 12 inches with the pavers placed over bedding sand. The mosaic "Koi fish" were made using hollandstone pavers. A sealer was applied to the pavers to enrich their colors. The fish were selected by the homeowners from several sketches and the swirls were hand drawn with chalk until they were just right. They were then individually cut into the pool deck.

The project is located in a small beach town in Southern California overlooking the Palos Verdes Hills. In order to capture this spectacular view, the designer located the main living/dining room on the second floor with floor to ceiling sliding doors. A small balcony with glass railing is connected to the living room, complementing its function by providing a semi-outdoor/indoor space. An ARDA for Custom Home Design goes to YNL Architects, Inc.

The designer's vision was to redefine a traditional concept and give it a new life. They merged cooking, dining, and entertainment without physical separation, but with opportunities to define spaces in an open floor plan for move-up families. They were challenged with defining each area in the home within a 30’ wide product. The designers were guided by a Mood Palette, and each room has a sense of importance to create a “feast for the eyes”.

HNA Hardscape Project Award Winner Savageau Residence Omaha, Nebraska Paver Designs, LLC Paver Designs LLC developed a renovation plan of the patio and pool deck which was a mishmash of stamped concrete, concrete pavers, and clay pavers. A rotting cedar tie wall also needed to be replaced. A plan included a water/fire feature flowing into the pool, a grill/bar island, stone fire place, and a fire boulder. The homeowners concrete pavers and stone for the walls. Planters were cut into the walls to create character and soften the hardscape. A flowing inlay that connected the patio "nook" area to the pool deck was hand drawn onto the field with chalk. Once all agreed on the design, the pavers were cut and a sealer was used to differentiate colors to the inlay. LED uplights highlight the walls and fire features.
