They also desire to have a TV in the room. Senior designer Dave Duewel evaluated different locations, such as above the patio door. In the end we chose to place the TV above the fireplace. This has the added benefit of the TV being visible to viewers who are sitting on the adjacent patio, next to the pool.

This fountain was designed to maximize the sheeting action and flow of water to more fully engage the senses of the viewer. The large volume and texture of the stainless steel basin created another visual aspect. The tropical Ipe' hardwood is supremely durable and was used throughout the garden. The fountain was sized to fit the large scale of the overall garden space.

Not every room is going to have the perfect dimensions for achieving an easy, balanced look. Sometimes, you have to fight a bit harder for it. In this narrow bedroom, there were few options for furniture arrangement. An off-centred window, and a box build-out made the bed placement look awkward. ENTER THE FOCAL POINT! - The superhero of this project. Creating a centred focal point behind the bed with printed and pleated curtains, ensures the eye immediately goes to where we want it. Textured pillows with significant visual weight keep the viewer’s gaze focused on the centre of the room instead of noticing the asymmetry beyond. Hanging some simple plants on either side of the curtains to balance the two sides creates a visual stopping-point, and distracts from the unbalanced window placement and wall box. Sometimes the most difficult spaces are the most fun to design.

#ThisIsLandscapeArchitecture Who among us hasn't driven through a neighborhood just to look at the beautiful landscaping. That engaging curb appeal isn't by accident. Through skilled landscape design, the viewer is immediately transfixed and drawn into the environment, causing each of us to just stop and stare. (Mike Crews Photography) #WLAM #WLAM2019

So many elements went into distracting the viewer in this tiny room. From the 42" repeat on the wallpaper to the 35" repeat on the balloon shades tiny element that the casual viewer would miss. The green check welt at the top of the treatment draws your eye up, then the green contrast molding carries the eye around the room. The radiator covers were made from 1X4's that were ripped down and planed then notched much like a Lincoln log and pieced together to form the custom grid. A Symphony show house the room was required to have something musical in it. Too small for a baby grand so the plates have chocolate baby grand's on them for opening night.

This client wanted to turn his large, sloped backyard garden bed into a perennial meadow filled with lush grasses, herbaceous perennials, and foundation shrubs. We designed the garden to hold the viewer’s senses in balance between structure and movement. After the initial rip-out, we added strategically placed foundation shrubs, including hydrangea, cypress, and euonymus, to hold the form of the garden in place and to give a sense of stability and weight. Then we painted the hillside with drifts of perennial grasses, astilbe, veronica, and geum, weaving one into the next for a feeling of natural, effortless flow.
