"Stair treads and Risers were delivered sooner than expected. No problems with installation of them other than very time consuming cutting each tread and riser to fit each individual stair. The work was worth it though, they look great!!" Steven

This corner lot was taking on a lot of water from the street, as well as headlights from passing cars. To solve both problems, we created a berm and densely planted it with evergreen screening plants. The berm redirects water around the house, as well as elevating the plant material.

This project, sitting on a little more than 3.5 acres on Rivercrest was completed in 3 years with a total square footage of more than 26,000 square feet. Typically modern homes are smaller. At a certain size, usually around 4,000 square feet, the difficulty with modern or contemporary architecture becomes scale, and the minimalist idea gets lost. Whenever you get to this scale of house at over 26,000 square feet, this problem adds a layer of complexity. Connie Anderson Photography

This made a remodel seem pointless. Our solution solved two problems; one, we would bump out an unusable corner in the master bathroom closet, and take it from a 45° angle to a 90° angle. This would now make the entire closet usable space. Two, this also allowed us to create a niche for shelves at the main entrance of the master bedroom, and allow for extra storage space behind for some additional decorative shelving in the master bathroom.

We installed this garden a few years after the major installation. There were small pieces of the evil plant Equisetum in the soil mix, that over time became a pest. We shut off the water and put in a desert garden instead. Problem solved. photos by Caitlin Atkinson

In the hills North of Santa Fe, New Mexico. A friend and client bought this wonderful older home with beautiful 360 degree views. The problem was the home was dark and outdated, especially the Kitchen, Entry and bathrooms. Our objective was to hold true to Santa Fe style while updating and brightening the home inside and out. The result was stunning.

At 1,000' above the waters of the San Juan Islands, the views are amazing, the winds almost constant. The vertically sliding wood panels in the windward direction solve that problem. The diamond-shaped windows feature a custom iron grille that acts as a handle when raising the panels. Live edge wood & recycled metal shed roofing add to the rustic character of this special structure.

Distributed by Timspec, Accoya was used chosen as the ideal material to clad a show home in Auckland. Accoya was selected for the black coated weatherboards on the front section of the house, due to its durability and stability benefits. Because of Accoya’s modification technique it is the ideal wood for external cladding such as this. Generally, problems can occur with darker coatings on cladding, due to shrink and swell being exasperated by the solar gain. But, Accoya wood’s superior dimensional stability negates this problem and maintenance intervals are dramatically extended. The cladding needed to be aesthetically pleasing as well as highly durable in order to withstand the extreme climates in New Zealand. Accoya was also chosen due to its rot resistant benefits and its ability to deter insects in these types of environments.
