Social space outside is a great way to include the landscape as a family gathering area. Here a pergola, TV wall and an outdoor kitchen are convenient to the home and also provide a view of the garden.

The open plan home leads seamlessly from the kitchen to this great social area. A comfortable seating area for coffee and cake or wine and nibbles on an evening and also a hanging chair, great for reading a book or watching the waterfront traffic sail by.

This Dallas backyard features a striking, modern fireplace as a focal point for outdoor living. The sleek, geometric structure, finished in a smooth, light-colored material, contrasts beautifully with the warm flames. The large, rectangular opening offers an unobstructed view of the fire, creating a captivating ambiance. This architectural element anchors the deck space, suggesting a gathering point for socializing and relaxation within the broader design.

An open space kitchen with a view. The spacious kitchen is fit for cooking and socializing yet practical. The island can be used for breakfast, a quick snack or kids lunches. The enormous double door refrigerator and deep freezer is there for a large family or for those who like to entertain. Sleek stainless steel appliances to match seamlessly with the grey cabinetry.

This project was designed to accommodate the client’s wish to have a traditional and functional barn that could also serve as a backdrop for social and corporate functions. Several years after it’s completion, this has become just the case as the clients routinely host everything from fundraisers to cooking demonstrations to political functions in the barn and outdoor spaces. In addition to the barn, Axial Arts designed an indoor arena, cattle & hay barn, and a professional grade equipment workshop with living quarters above it. The indoor arena includes a 100′ x 200′ riding arena as well as a side space that includes bleacher space for clinics and several open rail stalls. The hay & cattle barn is split level with 3 bays on the top level that accommodates tractors and front loaders as well as a significant tonnage of hay. The lower level opens to grade below with cattle pens and equipment for breeding and calving. The cattle handling systems and stocks both outside and inside were designed by Temple Grandin- renowned bestselling author, autism activist, and consultant to the livestock industry on animal behavior. This project was recently featured in Cowboy & Indians Magazine. As the case with most of our projects, Axial Arts received this commission after being recommended by a past client.

A sleek white, ultra modern island allows for guests to enjoy island seating and the view at the same time. Slim, angular custom designed brass legs support the 13 foot long island, creating a cooking area with downdraft, preparation area, storage and seating. The pop of orange lifts the scene from the cozy social seating to the front of the kitchen.

We designed a small space in the lower garden for the clients to enjoy the view.
