Here is a total transformation in the Stream House kitchen. Now its open and has a huge island for eat-in meals and an open pass thru into the formal dining room.

Slabs of natural stone jut out from the stream bed to form small waterfalls. Large boulders form the edge of the stream and retain soil behind them. Photo Credit - Roger Foley

The main floor of H2D Architecture + Designs's new custom home in Edmonds, WA is laid out with an open floor plan with the kitchen, dining and living areas overlooking the expansive Puget Sound waterfront. The living spaces have a vaulted ceiling with a focus out to the wall of windows looking out to the beach. The roof is designed using SIPs (structurally insulated panels) supported by a series of exposed wood beam and finished with a stained wood ceiling for a warm interior feel.

Pool fountain - mid-sized traditional backyard tile and rectangular natural pool fountain idea in New York

Our creative team introduced a unique concept to deal with this area: re-grade the slope, turning it into a “natural” retaining wall including a dramatic waterfall, stream, and woodland garden in its place. For the seven-foot-high “sheet” waterfall and stream, we used Aquascape Inc.’ pondless waterfall system, which allows for a good deal of water volume to create the dramatic effect.
