Convincing the Owner that Trex wasn't an option, we designed and built a new flagstone patio. A boulder from the hillside was "planted" as a canvas, counterpoint to life and nature. Evocative native plantings, mixed with adapted ornamentals, bring the foothills right into one's sensory experience. Photo, Gigi

Western Red Cedar Privacy Fence with Custom Pool Blind — Sherman, TX Genuine western red cedar privacy fence installed in Sherman, TX, built to last and designed for maximum backyard privacy around a pool area. This 6' board-on-board fence features a rot board at the base to keep boards off the ground and extend the life of the wood, plus a top cap and trim for a clean, finished look. Built for durability: steel posts set deep for stability, stainless steel nails throughout to prevent rust staining and streaking over time, and a custom-built pool blind section added for extra privacy where it mattered most. The existing wrought iron fencing along the front was left in place to keep sightlines open there, and the whole fence was stained after installation for a rich, even color and added weather protection. A great example of blending durability, craftsmanship, and privacy for a backyard pool space.

This bonus room received a major makeover. We transformed a former childhood playroom/catchall storage space into a bright and fun western loft.

Our pool designers will ask you if you are looking for a geometric or freeform pool. A geometric pool can be a great fit for a modern décor, and a freeform pool can be combined with hardscape to create your own backyard oasis. Some homeowners are really looking for that WOW factor, and invest in a show-stopping infinity, or negative edge pool. Infinity pools are especially popular among beach cities, such as San Diego, since they can be especially dramatic when poised over a coastal view. A pool is a powerful outdoor focal point, and becomes an instant center of get-togethers and social activity. Many homeowners are interested in learning about different water features options that can really bring their pool to life. Water features such as water bowls, water spouts, fountains, waterfalls and water jets can all make wonderful additions to your new pool.

For a couple and their young family, with two kids and a dog, moving to a new house in Sellwood, Portland near the Willamette River was their dream. Luckily the 1910-built house had already been incredibly renovated by the previous owner and was move-in ready, but at 1,390 square feet the family simply needed more space. Instead of building an addition, the family of four looked to their backyard to create additional living space for all four seasons. Leveraging an existing ipe deck, Life Design Build designed and created an outdoor lounge with modern Adirondack-style custom outdoor furniture and fire pit, a complimentary spa with matching outdoor shower and hot tub, and surrounding landscaping and hardscaping. The goal was to reinforce and celebrate the home’s Pacific Northwest natural/modern cabin aesthetic, making the most of the region’s most ubiquitous timber source, Douglas fir, along with strategic placement of western red cedar and local willow, and a garden utilizing low-maintenance but also striking native-species.

The project began with the removal of the old shingles, followed by the installation of CertainTeed WinterGuard Full Ice & Water Shield across the deck for superior protection. A Benjamin Obdyke Cedar Breather® layer was added to promote ventilation and extend the life of the cedar shingles. The roof was finished with Watkins Mill Western Red Cedar Perfection Shingles, complemented by fully fabricated 16 oz. red copper flashings, including pipe and valley flashings, drip edges, and rake edges. The result is a durable, high-performance cedar roof with natural beauty and long-lasting protection.

We recommended and installed Watkins Western Red Cedar perfection shingles treated with Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA). The CCA is an anti-fungal and insect repellant which extends the life of the cedar, especially in shoreline communities where there is significant moisture.

The landscape design for this private residence brings together a diverse array of elements to create an ethereal, multi-sensory experience where sound, movement, colour and scent are simultaneously evoked. Shielded by a forty foot hedge, the site challenged us to create an exterior, yet interior, world where Asian and Western influences intersect. In honouring the traditions of Feng Shui, the retaining wall does not sit directly on the entrance. Meditation pathways lead to areas of retreat and socialization (including an outdoor fire, a restored pool and covered seating area). An ergonomic garden and potting station lined with fruit trees allows the client to grow her own plants and vegetables. A multi-leveled water feature is framed with lush camellias and peonies; the landscape is lined with evergreens and decorated with Chinese basalt and local granite. The multi-sensory design comes to life in the grove of Shirofugen cherry trees as it sheds its petals to the music of a custom Corten steel wind chime sculpture made by English artist David Harber. A weather station was placed on site for a month to determine the weight of the chimes—each one set to the pentatonic scale. This is a space where our clients can grow and evolve their lives with the seasons.

Our clients sat down with Monique Teniere from Halifax Cabinetry to discuss their vision of a western style bar they wanted for their basement entertainment area. After conversations with the clients and taking inventory of the barn board they had purchased, Monique created design drawings that would then be brought to life by the skilled craftsmen of Halifax Cabinetry.
