Search results for "Rectangular garden" in Home Design Ideas

Large, historic home from the 1930's overlooking downtown Santa Cruz. My clients are self-described "plantaholics" and tend to buy many plants, only to have them die. They have an extensive gardening area and low water budget. Our main goal was to make the overall design cohesive between various areas of the garden while utilizing interesting and unusual plant selections - a very fun project for me! We removed over 3,000 square feet of traditional grass and replaced it with several lawn alternatives. The first is a walkable groundcover that uses a fraction of the water of regular grass (and can be seen here in several seasons, one of which has tiny flowers); The second is a California native grass that grows long (or can be kept short) and can tolerate some shade. Both of these are excellent choices for clients with children or dogs who want a green patch without using excessive water. My clients love plants from Australia and South Africa so plants from the Proteacea and other Southern Hemisphere beauties are used predominantly throughout the project. Clean, flowing water is so important for wildlife and the beautiful stone fountain is a constant gathering spot for birds and other animals. My clients are beyond thrilled with their gorgeous, nature-filled garden and ever-expanding plant knowledge.

Inspiration for a contemporary courtyard water fountain landscape in Orange County.

The property is one of the original farm houses located on the main street of a small town. It has been in the family for many years and our client just inherited the property. They were trying to have balance of preserving the old while realizing modern day living has its benefits too. The house had a large addition added using mostly old style materials, but designed with function and modern day luxuries. Our goal was to carry that theme to the outside.
Our first problem we had to address was how to transition between the first floor elevation changes. The lower room was the husband’s office. He stated in the future he may have clients over and it would be nice to have an area to sit outside. The wife’s main concern was to renew the four corner garden. She also felt it was very important to be able to see it from the kitchen area. Finally there was an old wishing well stuck right outside the kitchen. They both felt it would be neat to be able to incorporate this in some how. They wanted a patio area with a built in grill to accommodate there family and friends. They also wanted to keep a large play area for the kids.
We were able to pull this off successfully. We addressed the first issue by having a small lower level flagstone area. This area is large enough for 1 to 2 people to sit comfortably. It also provides a transition from his office to the larger patio area. We installed a simple small gravel sitting area opposite of the main patio. This provides our client a secluded place to relax or do business. Mrs.... told me she is amazed how much her and her husband enjoys this area. It is so peaceful looking at the small creek over a glass of wine.
We built a natural limestone retaining wall to create the patio terrace. The stone was chosen to extend the houses architectural elements into the landscape. Irregular broken flagstone was used to give it a more casual feel. We installed three Serviceberries into the patio terrace to replace some trees that were taken down during the remodeling. She was very concern that they would block the view of the four corner garden. We new they were crucial to nestle in the terrace, so we placed them for a couple days for her to decide. Fortunately she agreed they not only kept the view open, but helped frame the garden.
The four corner garden was designed to be viewed from afar and experienced up close. We wanted the space to have some formal structure while keeping with the casual farm house feel. Another natural limestone retaining wall was created. This leveled the garden terrace and helped associate it with the rest of the property. The four corner garden is nestled into the existing woods edge. This provides three distinct experiences to entering the garden; a more formal from the driveway, an open feel from the lower lawn, and a more natural / casual experience from the wooded area. The Plymouth brown gravel was used for the center of the garden. This helped highlight the stone post that was found during construction. The gravel also brings the sense of sound into the garden space. Lamb’s ear was chosen as a fun way to get kids interest in horticulture.
The balance of using the new to create the old feel is what makes this project a success. The property has already hosted a local historical society event and won an award for its preservation efforts. When Mrs.... can’t find her husband, she knows he is either reading the newspaper by the grill or resting in the hammock along the wood’s path.

Design ideas for a mid-sized traditional partial sun backyard formal garden in New York.

The homeowners of this lovely Mill Valley home desired a complete landscape renovation for outdoor living, in their serene setting below the redwoods. We updated the patio areas with natural bluestone, one for lounging and relaxing with a gas fire table and modern furniture. The other for dining. The stepping stones and stairways also used the same natural bluestone. The homeowners' wanted to replace the water-thirsty lawn and chose an artificial turf. Now this area of the landscape has zero maintenance, saves water, and provides a great surface for their active dog, and for the homeowner to practice archery. I designed the two patios with an "irregular edge" to break up the long rectangular shapes and also add visual interest to the design. Between the patios I specified a grey "Granitecrete" surface (similar to decomposed granite, but more durable). Chosen to contrast with the bluestone, it also provides a perfect surface for the BBQ/kitchen area. The homeowner had custom redwood benches with storage created as wall as raised planting beds and shelving for their collection of Protea plants. The Redwood trellis was added for a future outdoor TV screen. The posts will eventually be accented with the planted vines. A lower area in the landscape was designed for another destination in the landscape with a relaxing hanging hammock This area includes Leucadendron (Cone Bush) shrubs along the retaining walls and a Carex Pansa lawn; a CA native grass that spreads with very low water needs. A variety of low-water flowering plants, flowing ornamental grasses, screening shrubs and a few site-appropriate trees complete the landscape design.

Transforming the blank canvas of a basic builder’s backyard into a captivating retreat, we turned a grass-dominated space into an effortlessly elegant low-maintenance haven with a distinct Asian flair. At the heart of this metamorphosis is the expanded patio and walkway, featuring offset architectural pavers that not only captivate the eye but also contribute to a dynamic sense of flow throughout the elongated backyard.
A key focal point is the thoughtfully designed rain garden, adorned with strategically placed boulders that manages stormwater runoff in an aesthetically pleasing way.
The carefully curated plant palette plays a pivotal role in achieving the desired aesthetic. The deliberate choice of low grasses and foliage-forward perennials, coupled with the inclusion of small evergreen plants and vibrant Japanese maples, creates a harmonious blend of colors, shapes, and sizes. This contrasting arrangement not only ensures visual interest year-round but also infuses the space with a timeless allure inspired by Asian design principles.
The result is a backyard oasis that transcends the ordinary, offering a serene escape with minimal upkeep requirements. The strategic combination of hardscape elements, lush greenery, and carefully selected plants transforms this space into a sanctuary where the beauty of nature meets the sophistication of thoughtful design.

This is a California xeriscape succulent garden. Clients wanted color and texture with drought-resistant plant materials. They enjoy garden sculptures, so we included a Buddha and a Roman bust planted with succulents. The previous owners of the property left behind some old San Francisco cobblestones, which we incorporated into the new design, using them as garden steps.
We built low, raised beds out of stone, also existing on the property, and used containers along steps and against existing concrete walls to soften the hard surfaces.

Modbarn house interior designed by STUDIO KONDE Konrad Idaszewski Architekt, a Poznań-based interior architect specializing in contemporary residential architecture and carefully detailed living spaces.
Project details: https://conde.pl/portfolio/gotowy-projekt-wnetrz-nowoczesnej-stodoly-modbarn/
Within the Modelowedomy collection of individually configurable houses, Modbarn combines the distinctive form of a modern barn with a spacious living and dining area and a kitchen designed to remain partially separated from the lounge while maintaining a strong visual connection between the zones.
Contemporary kitchen and dining interior designed as part of a modern house collection, where warm natural wood, light stone, soft upholstery and expansive glazing create an elegant and welcoming residential setting. The restrained palette brings together practical built-in cabinetry and sculptural dining furniture, while large windows connect the kitchen and dining area with the surrounding garden.
The kitchen is composed around a generous wood-finished island with a clean, monolithic form and integrated storage. Full-height cabinetry continues along the rear wall, creating a cohesive built-in composition in a natural oak finish. White upper cabinets introduce a lighter horizontal band, while the illuminated stone backsplash beneath them adds a refined surface with subtle veining. Integrated black appliances provide a discreet contrast within the pale timber cabinetry, and a minimalist white tap and kettle keep the worktop visually uncluttered.
At the centre of the dining area, a large oval white tabletop rests on a substantial sculptural wooden pedestal, giving the room a softer, more organic character than a conventional rectangular dining table. Surrounding it are generously upholstered dining chairs in a light greige fabric, each with a rounded shell-like silhouette and slim dark legs. Their soft forms complement the curved edge of the table and reinforce the calm, contemporary character of the interior.
Two pendant fixtures with oversized textured fabric shades hang above the dining table, adding scale and warmth to the composition. Their taupe-grey finish relates naturally to the upholstery of the chairs, while the vertical suspension creates a visual connection with the high proportions of the Modbarn interior. On the tabletop, a small arrangement of ceramic vessels and shallow trays provides understated decoration without disturbing the clean lines of the setting.
Underfoot, the natural timber herringbone floor extends from the dining zone towards the kitchen, contrasting with the light stone-effect flooring used around the kitchen work area. Full-height glazing surrounds the dining space and opens the room towards a green garden, with mature trees, lawn and a white vertical fence visible beyond the windows. The combination of bespoke wood cabinetry, a sculptural dining table, upholstered chairs, textured pendant lighting and generous garden-facing glazing demonstrates the contemporary interior design approach of STUDIO KONDE, an interior architect in Poznań creating refined residential spaces within the Modelowedomy collection.
