This garden project began with the demolition of an existing pool and decks cantilevered over a hillside. The garden was originally a Japanese-themed garden retreat and free-form shaped pool. While the client wanted to update and replace many elements, they sought to keep the free-form characteristics of the existing design and repurpose existing materials. BK Landscape Design created a new garden with revetment walls and steps to a succulent garden with salvaged boulders from the pool and pool coping. We built a colored concrete path to access a new wood trellis constructed on the center-line view from the master bedroom. A combination of Bay friendly, native and evergreen plantings were chosen for the planting palette. The overhaul of the yard included low-voltage lighting and minimal drainage. A new wood deck replaced the existing one at the entrance as well as a deck off of the master bedroom that was also constructed from repurposed materials. The style mimics the architectural detail of the mansard roof and simple horizontal wood siding of the house. After removing a juniper (as required by the San Rafael Fire Department within the Wildland-Urban interface) we designed and developed a full front-yard planting plan. All plants are Bay-Friendly, native, and irrigated with a more efficient in-line drip irrigation system to minimize water use. Low-voltage lighting and minimal drainage were also part of the overhaul of the front yard redesign.

The secrets to family-friendly kitchens that bring everyone together: lots of room for mingling, an ample kitchen island—with a few comfortable stools—for chatting with the cook, and plenty of extra seating for when the meal is ready, such as a cozy banquette.

Home design - contemporary home design idea in Portland

Complete gut of kitchen from painted white to hard Maple. The pantry cabinet was original a closet and not very user friendly. The soffits were removed giving the kitchen a much larger and open concept.

This closet had very old Elfa product in it when we started. We completely rearranged the existing product and added more to make this a little more user friendly.

The door to the laundry space is now a pocket door, creating much more usable space. A nice looking galley space with a modified L-shaped peninsula has created a very user-friendly layout
