The ornamental grasses at the front door accent the Mission style architecture of this home. The owner enjoys how they dance with the slightest breeze so we don't prune them back until early spring when they are ready to resprout again. All plants here are drought tolerant and very low maintenance. Why plant drought tolerant plants in a landscape that has drainage problems? Well, Atlanta always seems to be too rainy or too dry. We've solved both problems on this site. Photographer: Danna Cain, Home & Garden Design, Inc.

We had to steal tile from entry floor to patch an area where island was removed. The floor tile had been discontinued so we chose to add this rug look rectangle by the front door.

This is a simple addition to the back deck to create an outdoor kitchen and outdoor dining area. A fire pit by the water creates another seating area out in the lawn and gives a perfect place to watch the sun set.

Joe Fletcher Atop a ridge in the Santa Lucia mountains of Carmel, California, an oak tree stands elevated above the fog and wrapped at its base in this ranch retreat. The weekend home’s design grew around the 100-year-old Valley Oak to form a horseshoe-shaped house that gathers ridgeline views of Oak, Madrone, and Redwood groves at its exterior and nestles around the tree at its center. The home’s orientation offers both the shade of the oak canopy in the courtyard and the sun flowing into the great room at the house’s rear façades. This modern take on a traditional ranch home offers contemporary materials and landscaping to a classic typology. From the main entry in the courtyard, one enters the home’s great room and immediately experiences the dramatic westward views across the 70 foot pool at the house’s rear. In this expansive public area, programmatic needs flow and connect - from the kitchen, whose windows face the courtyard, to the dining room, whose doors slide seamlessly into walls to create an outdoor dining pavilion. The primary circulation axes flank the internal courtyard, anchoring the house to its site and heightening the sense of scale by extending views outward at each of the corridor’s ends. Guest suites, complete with private kitchen and living room, and the garage are housed in auxiliary wings connected to the main house by covered walkways. Building materials including pre-weathered corrugated steel cladding, buff limestone walls, and large aluminum apertures, and the interior palette of cedar-clad ceilings, oil-rubbed steel, and exposed concrete floors soften the modern aesthetics into a refined but rugged ranch home.

And then there was storage. A friendly trip to IKEA solved the problem. Of course I had to embellish the storage cabinet with lighting and strong sleek handles. We went from a tossed space to a sleek stay-cation.

This is a continuous perimeter slot overflow pool with a spa. We have a secret building technique which eliminates the gurgling sound many projects experience. How do we do it? Its a secret. If you have one in Arizona with the gurgling problem you can contact me and I might be able to solve the problem. This type of design appears simple, but I spent more time on the CAD design and calculations then any other pool I have ever built.
