Standing a perky 4 feet tall this palm-like tree is a fabulous tropical accent for your home or office. Sizeable enough to liven up any space yet compact enough to fit any size room. Not a detail was missed, from its dark olive green leaves down to the sturdy spiny trunk. This tree is so natural, you may be tempted to water it.

A date palm lit from two sides so the trunk texture reads and the crown fills without a hot spot. The sconces are left as accents, not the main event — the tree carries this corner of the house.

Even small spaces need great design. Container and small space gardens - decks, alcoves and patios are all great spots to "green" up with planted pots. Add color, texture and warmth to your small spaces - or drama to a large space - with a well-designed container. Birdbaths, fountains, troughs and more make great containers. Irrigation can be run to your containers or Oyas (water vessels) can be planted in the containers to provide irrigation and to keep your plants healthy.

The owner proposed a Rustic Modern aesthetic, and the design highlights trees harvested from the site as columns for the timber frame structure. Nestled into a Western slope the house enjoys dramatic views to the East. Conceived as the ultimate family house, the main floor is the heart of the residence, and the third floor houses the master bedroom suite with guest rooms lower level.
