It was my pleasure working with the Nelson's to design their back yard into a park and prairie like setting. A small back yard, 2835 sq ft, appears to be much larger with walking paths that visit garden islands filled with xeric and native plants. The plants are small now but when they mature the landscape will be filled with color and textures that enhance the theme. Another wonderful install by my wonderful team at Showcase Landscape and Irrigation of Loveland, CO.

An open floor plan between the Kitchen, Dining, and Living areas is thoughtfully divided by sliding barn doors, providing both visual and acoustic separation. The rear screened porch and grilling area located off the Kitchen become the focal point for outdoor entertaining and relaxing. Custom cabinetry and millwork throughout are a testament to the talents of the builder, with the project proving how design-build relationships between builder and architect can thrive given similar design mindsets and passions for the craft of homebuilding.

Extending the architectural elegance of the house was the primary objective for this suburban Toronto pool. Special care was taken to retain existing mature trees and a small retaining wall was built to help level the sloping yard. The pool's formal lines are established with the 11' radius Roman steps centred across from a stone feature wall with three bronze fleur-de-lys spitter sconces. A dark vinyl liner surrounded by natural flagstone coping and deck completes the look. (13 x 30, rectangular)
