This is an example of a mid-century modern landscaping in Los Angeles.

This newly constructed home was in need of an outdoor living space and streetscape in a matching contemporary Northwest style. Our studio composed a landscape with an improved entry sequence, balancing the need for personal privacy alongside a distinctive public face. A steel framed gabion basket wall provides a crisp edge and doubles as retaining for the private patio behind the horizontal board fence. The courtyard oasis with a new deck is enclosed by warm wooden fencing set on top of the contrasting raw texture of a gabion retaining wall that acts as a backdrop to bold streetscape plantings.

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.

Texas swimming pool designer Mike Farley takes you to the design of a Colleyville residential Lazy River project that has already won multiple awards and was featured on HGTV "Cool Pools". This pool has it all - outdoor kitchen, multiple waterfalls, rain falls, bridges, an elevated spa on an island surrounded by the river, basketball, luxury cave, underwater speakers, and they converted a stall of the garage to make a bathroom with a dry sauna & walkin dual shower. Project is designed by Mike Farley and constructed by Claffey Pools. Check out Mike's Pool Tour Video series at FarleyPoolDesigns.com. Photo by Laura Farley

A sculptural statement in its own right, this concrete-and-glass “Gallery House” was designed to showcase the owners’ art collection as well as the natural landscape. The architecture is truly one with its site: To the east, a sheltering wall echoes the curve of a crowded cul-de-sac, while to the west, the design follows the sweeping contours of the cliff—ensuring privacy while maximizing views. The architectural details demanded flawless construction: Windows and doors stretch floor-to-ceiling, and minimalist reveals define the walls, which “float” between perfect shadow lines in the long T-shape foyer. Ideal for entertaining, the layout fosters seamless indoor-outdoor living. Amenities include four pocketing glass walls, a lanai with heated floor, and a partially cantilevered multi-level terrace. The front courtyard sequesters a frameless glass entry. From here, sight lines stretch through the house to an infinity pool that hovers between sky and sea.

This close-up, eye-level shot captures the front facade of a modern luxury home on a sunny day. The house is painted in a clean white stucco with a dark gray tiled roof. A prominent entryway is framed by two large white pillars and features a set of double front doors with dark wood frames and frosted glass panels. Above the entrance, exposed wood beams and brackets add a touch of warmth and natural texture to the design. The home has a mix of large, modern windows and narrow transom windows, allowing for ample natural light. In the foreground, a vibrant green lawn is bordered by a gray paver walkway leading to the front door, with lush green shrubs and small palm trees planted along the foundation.

James Hardie lap siding in Cobblestone wraps the walls, the stamped Tuscany Stone deck holds the saltwater pool under its automatic cover, and mulched planting beds edge the open lawn toward the neighborhood beyond.

Carefully sited onto its environment, this dwelling was placed to reveal a magnificent vista. Maximizing the use of the site by creating stepped terraces that envelope the residence and frame the spectacular views. The long reflecting pool provides its orientation amongst the sweeping panorama of the surrounding hills that enhance the relationship of the interior and exterior spaces of this multi-story home. The dynamic thrust of the soaring inverted roof meets the landscape beneath a dominant overhang. The result is a sense of protected openness and freedom within expansive interior space surrounded by glass. www.bernardandre.com

Wider angle shot of the great room shows you the living room, dining room and a peak into the start of the kitchen. The fiddle fig leaf plant in its basket with black base keeps it soft and playful. The beautiful dining table with its porcelain marbeled top extends as well, the chairs clean with a simple wipe for this young house, and the walnut legs complement the millwork in the kitchen. The dining room console is stunning with its acrylic base and lacqured burled wood in onyx finish anchored by a simple round mirror with brass accents. The white and fuschia flowers bring some softness to this space.The homeowners had the chandelier from before and it brings so much character to the space.

Nothing like a good drone shot to provide a great overview of the project scope and how all the elements come together.

This picture of this beautiful home was shot from a place of relaxation. This backyard comes well-equipped with a pool, sunshine and a small green house to tend to. That's not even the most exciting part though! This homeowner had their windows done by Wonderful Windows and Siding. These large windows give a perfect view onto the backyard and allow natural light in while blocking out harmful UV rays. The windows on the second floor have white-wooden blinds as a window treatment.
