Island style u-shaped eat-in kitchen photo in Charleston with an undermount sink, shaker cabinets, white cabinets and stainless steel appliances

With the addition of patio sliders (replacing a regular door and small window) and removing the enclosing walls, the dining room is now open to the adjoining rooms. This creates a great space for entertaining.

Staircase - industrial staircase idea in New York

We had a several challenges to face with this project. Not only did we need to update a dated landscape to accommodate two seemingly different design tastes (modern & minimalistic vs natural english garden), we were tasked with improving the property’s drainage, improving the driveway access, reducing water usage and plant maintenance, and fixing a crumbling wall. To marry the two design tastes, we started with the more modern elements of metal planters and softened the landscape with mass plantings of ornamental grasses and native sedge. These grasses act as a turf replacement that do not need to be mowed and require less regular watering. On each side of the yard we constructed new cedar fences to provide updated and additional privacy. In addition, we poured a new concrete wall to replace the existing retaining wall and play off the new modern vibe.
