My clients knew their house didn't match their modern Scandinavian style. Located in South Charlotte in an older, well-established community, Sara and Ash had big dreams for their home. During our virtual consultation, I learned a lot about this couple and their style. Ash is a woodworker and business owner; Sara is a realtor so they needed help pulling a vision together to combine their styles. We looked over their Pinterest boards where I began to envision their mid-century, meets modern, meets Scandinavian, meets Japanese garden, meets Monterey style. I told you I love making each exterior unique to each homeowner!

The backyard was top priority for this family of 4 with a big wish-list. Sara and Ash were looking for a she-shed for Sara’s Peleton workouts, a fire pit area to hangout, and a fun and functional space that was golden doodle-friendly. They also envisioned a custom tree house that Ash would create for their 3-year-old, and an artificial soccer field to burn some energy off. I gave them a vision for the back sunroom area that would be converted into the woodworking shop for Ash to spend time perfecting his craft.

This landscape is very low-maintenance with the rock details, evergreens, and ornamental grasses. My favorite feature is the pops of black river rock that contrasts with the white rock

Corten steel accents, commercial storefront glass, and a bird-friendly fountain. Proof that sleek design and nature can play nicely together.

Our design for the 2013 SF Flower and Garden show was themed after the country of Iceland. We used over 40 tons of stone and gravel. The design includes a green roof play house for kids, a day bed made from a 4500 pound rock and a main patio with a sleek metal water feature.

Taking inspiration from the homeowner’s Norwegian heritage and mid-century modern style, this landscape is meant to be enjoyed year-round. The bluestone patios and paths are visually connected by a garden of northwest native pollinators, a waterfall, an outdoor family room and a raised bed vegetable garden. All while leaving a large grass yard for the dogs to enjoy! The cedar barrel sauna fits right in.

This was a front entry remodel to existing home that had done recent renovations. David Kopfmann of Yardscapes, wanted to accentuate the curves of the architecture by creating a curved small stone wall, which also tied into the front stoop. He planted traditional shrubs and plant material to add texture. A custom fountain was also fabricated out of metal, copper, and stone as a focal point.

Ipe wood accents help highlight the black exterior color of the this Cape re-design. In order to integrate the sloped terrain and create ample gathering spaces, we created various levels in the landscape. The terraced levels help open up the narrow space and provide better views to the Hudson River below. Ornamental grasses and ferns and a simple palette of white plantings create dimension against the black architecture. Local fieldstone and up cycled brownstone walls give definition and structure to the landscape.
