This is a very simple, clean pool that has a spa "hidden" in the pool and Prism Blue PebbleSheen. The spa seats 4 people. This project is on a hillside and includes Travertine coping and decking with a large tanning ledge and gushers for some nice sound. Project designed by Mike Farley

Images by Nic LeHoux Designed as a home and studio for a photographer and his young family, Lightbox is located on a peninsula that extends south from British Columbia across the border to Point Roberts. The densely forested site lies beside a 180-acre park that overlooks the Strait of Georgia, the San Juan Islands and the Puget Sound. Having experienced the world from under a black focusing cloth and large format camera lens, the photographer has a special fondness for simplicity and an appreciation of unique, genuine and well-crafted details. The home was made decidedly modest, in size and means, with a building skin utilizing simple materials in a straightforward yet innovative configuration. The result is a structure crafted from affordable and common materials such as exposed wood two-bys that form the structural frame and directly support a prefabricated aluminum window system of standard glazing units uniformly sized to reduce the complexity and overall cost. Accessed from the west on a sloped boardwalk that bisects its two contrasting forms, the house sits lightly on the land above the forest floor. A south facing two-story glassy cage for living captures the sun and view as it celebrates the interplay of light and shadow in the forest. To the north, stairs are contained in a thin wooden box stained black with a traditional Finnish pine tar coating. Narrow apertures in the otherwise solid dark wooden wall sharply focus the vibrant cropped views of the old growth fir trees at the edge of the deep forest. Lightbox is an uncomplicated yet powerful gesture that enables one to view the subtlety and beauty of the site while providing comfort and pleasure in the constantly changing light of the forest.

After nearly eight years, it was time to perform a "technology remodel" on this home. We upgraded nearly every facet of the system, including new TVs, lift mechanisms, audio/video equipment, lighting controls, and a slick new Apple based automation and control system. The client now has simple control of nearly all the technology in their home from an iPad, iPhone, or wireless remote. We also included bullet-proof WiFi and a robust computer network, so they can enjoy ultra-fast internet and seamless connections throughout the home.

A stunning covered outdoor sitting area is anchored by a gas fireplace and is flanked by the sound of the cascading water feature.The dining area is simple yet elegant and provides a destination to retreat to across the backyard. The front yard was designed to incorporate the existing trees and charming architecture of the house. All the stone work and concrete work was mirrored exactly to provide a seamless transition from one area of the yard to the next. Photo Credit: Jamen Rhodes

UAll dressed up for a wedding. We took a lovely entry and updated it with a landscape full of color and the soothing sounds of water. The first photo shown in the project is the design created in Photoshop. This give the client an idea of how the finished project should look once the landscape matures. We used a simple color scheme of red, orange, yellow and white to compliment the house and walkway. The containers are Vietnamese pottery converted or plumbed into water vessels. The are positioned over an underground reservoir where the water spills through a rock bed and is recirculated through the pottery.pdate an entry garden

Pondless water feature created by drilling channel for water through the rock to emerge at the top of the 'beak' in the rock. Grate with reservoir below captures water for return, and creates echo chamber for the pleasant water splashing sounds. Central feature to a small circular patio in the middle of woodland planting. Design by John DeVore.

Our homeowners were looking for a garden where they could sit by the fire, grow vegetable and hear the sound of water. Their home was new construction in a modern farmhouse style. We used gravel and concrete as paving. Board formed concrete firepit keeps it feeling modern. The vegetable beds supply season vegetables and herbs.

This project included a Patio Cover Addition, Outdoor Kitchen, Gas-Burning Fireplace, and Stamped Concrete walking surface with a custom pattern. The attention is immediately drawn to the Ledgestone fire place with a rustic cedar mantel. The Ledgestone flows continuously throughout the space, found on the base of the patio columns and outdoor kitchen. The kitchen sparkles with Stainless Steel appliances, containing storage compartments, refrigerator, and grill. Topped with Venetian Gold Granite, this cooking space provides ample counter space that is easily maintained. The overall appeal of this Outdoor Living area remains beautifully traditional, with cedar-trimmed columns and beams. Also, though it has custom features, this addition is built to look original to the home with matching paint, shingles, gutters, and framing materials. The elaborate, pre-stained Tongue and Groove ceiling is quite an attractive feature to this patio cover, and the recessed lighting illuminates the evening. The fans provide adequate air-flow and the sound system keeps the patio atmosphere in tune.

This project was a complete tear down and rebuild on a very small, waterfront lot. Zoning, civil engineering of the septic system, and structural engineering for flooding and hurricane resistance were all driving factors, but the final design was nothing short of simple eloquence. The program was for a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 3 season house that made the most of the Long Island Sound waterfront exposure. The footprint is basically 24 ft x 24 ft, the same as a two car garage. Despite being a cube more or less, all the rooms that matter front on the water side. The stairs, baths and circulation back up to the street side. Total gross living space is just under 1,200 sq. ft. Photo: Robert Coolidge
