Pretension - Photos & Ideas

next project previous project In the historic community of Casa Blanca in Paradise Valley sits this beautiful and simplistic garden--one that is both secluded and peaceful due to its walled-in enclosures. The elegant foliage palette harmonizes outdoor living at its finest. Cast concrete slabs set the rhythm for the space while succulents and trailing herbs sneak through the hardscape breaks. The sense of privacy and calm created by the vined walls is unparalleled, especially when juxtaposed with the uplifting color from the fields of flax surrounding this truly unique secret garden in the Sonoran Desert.

Crosby Street Loft

DHD Architecture and Interior Design

DHD Crosby Street Loft in SOHO, NYC The Crosby Street Loft building is located on a cobblestone block in the Soho Cast Iron Historic District. Built in 1882, it was formerly a department store, and converted in 2001 to a 10-unit loft condominium. Our renovation of a second floor loft retains and celebrates many of the original details, including generous, open spaces, 14 foot plus ceiling heights, Corinthian-style columns, and a continuous 120 foot exposed brick wall with integrated archways. The design was a collaborative process, integrating elements discovered on the client’s world travels. Design features include a 12 foot tall glass lounge, two fireplaces, Control4 smart home system, a stone, cold-rolled steel and custom walnut cabinet kitchen and living room, and a luxurious master suite reminiscent of a 5-star hotel. http://www.dhd.nyc Architect: David Howell, R.A.

Our mission was to fulfill all these elements with a garden that would match architecture, color scheme, tradition and simplicity. Front lawn was treated, weeded, leveled and hedged the area where new vegetation was to be placed. We choose a variety of burgundy color plants to play contrast with the blue walls. We used against the front wall Black Vanish hedge (arbusto Mosaico Vino); Breynia Nivosa (arbusto Nevado Rosa); Dianella Tasmanica, a variety of sun resistant bromeliads. The area was flanked by a adult 6 ft. Dracaena marginata ‘Tricolor’ and two Cordyline'' sp. 'pink integrity' – leaves and also an adult 6 ft tall Rutacea Murraya Paniculata Mirto (Café de la India)
