Flat space in your backyard is important, but in a sloped yard it can be difficult to find that space. Adding retaining walls can solve the problem of not enough flat space.

Nutsedge is one of the more prolific and persistant weeds we have here in North Texas. They thrive in compacted, poorly draining soils or beds that are overwatered or have irrigation leaks. If you've had an increasing problem with nutsedge then your soil is probably too compacted and may be staying too wet.

Kitchen - traditional kitchen idea in Denver

The flow of this Kitchen/Dining/Family Room area was dramatically changed by the redesign of three problematic areas. Originally the Kitchen had a oversized, angled peninsula that made traffic flow to the adjacent Dining And Family Rooms congested. The Dining Room was a dark, enclosed space with angled walls. And the Stairway to the Lower Level had a awkward door at the top of the stairs plus poor lighting making the stairway feel like a cramped tunnel. To solve the problems, the Kitchen peninsula was redesigned with a new layout that didn't sacrifice seating. The Dining Room was opened up to the Kitchen and Family Room by removing a small angled wall and also the wall that divided the Dining and the Family Rooms - now the Family's Room fireplace is visible for enjoying upon entering the house and your view can even extend out the Family Room windows to the landscape of the backyard beyond. And finally, the staircase was updated by eliminating the door and opening up one of its side walls so that sightlines now flow through to the Kitchen and natural and accent lights flood the space. By reworking these spaces they now have an updated, open, expansive feeling with easy traffic flow and lots of light. Problems solved!

Noise is a very common problem in restaurants/bars when they have a lot of sound from voices, music, kitchen, bar, etc. in a space with hard surfaces and nothing to absorb the sound. The client wanted to cut down on the overall echo or reverberation of the space for a more enjoyable customer experience. The custom printed panels placed in the space help absorb the sound and prevent the sound from continuing to travel and bounce in the space.

This is a great little house that has used back to basics construction methods that utilise ancient building techniques to help be a solution for the modern problem of climate change. The brief was a challenging one; build a beautiful, sustainable home for a family in a short period of time with a very small budget. The brief was fulfilled through the use of efficient design, second hand materials and the use of cob (earth) wall construction - which cost next to nothing but allowed for sculptural beauty. An amazing effort from a determined client then turned that into reality.

The original window was a wood frame that became a big problem for the owners. The sash of the window was completely rotted and water along with cold air were pouring into the house. This window drove up the heating bill and cause interior damage. The replacement window is a custom pvc that will never rot and has energy star glass for better insulation.

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.Caitlin Atkinson

A new house on 2 acres of former pasture land north of Fort Worth. The overriding design problem was the 16ft of slope across the site and how that should affect the massing of the house. Originally conceived as three separate volumes stepping down the slope, these forms were brought together in the final design to form an open courtyard with a level grass terrace. As much as possible, the site’s natural slope and landscape were unchanged.
