This is an example of a mid-sized asian partial sun backyard landscaping in Austin for summer.

Our team came up with the design and incorporated the “yin yang” symbol, with half of it being the pond, the other half synthetic turf so no extra water was needed to water a lawn. All the plants used in landscaping were also drought tolerant turning this oasis into drought tolerant masterpiece!

A lot of cooking and entertaining happen in this kitchen. Therefore, the layout was extremely important. The work triangle (area between the sink, fridge and cooktop) was kept tight. Limiting food prep to this area guarantees that the cook will not be interrupted by guests, who can hang out on the other side of the large island.

Outdoor Makeover
This is an example of an asian landscaping in Atlanta.

Long. Narrow. Can’t move any plumbing. These can be dreaded words in the design industry. Or they can be a challenge issued to spur creativity. These challenges were met head on by repurposing the tub to a full shower and adding zen-like materials to transform what was once a jungle-theme bath shared by children to an elegant guest bath that welcomes home grown adults on occasional visits. Very dark brown stained maple cabinetry feature an intriguing drawer configuration: is it three, four, eight, how many? It’s actually 5 drawers designed to flow with each other both horizontally and vertically; the hardware chosen to help accentuate this unity (the bottom 2/4 drawer fronts is actually one deep drawer). Quartz counters, porcelain sinks, contemporary faucetry and a large custom-framed mirror complete the vanity ensemble! A dual-flush toilet meet the homeowners’ wish for “green” solutions. Natural stone, pebble tiles and wood satisfy the desire for an earthier, more natural feeling in the room. Frameless glass gives an unencumbered view to take in the natural elements within the shower. Even the shampoo and soap niches reflect the “ying & yang” notions often thought of when envisioning a “zen” atmosphere. While the footprint remained the same, this bath was converted from “monkey business” to total tranquility.

This powder room was squeezed into a basement renovation. Strategic lighting, subway tile and wall to wall mirrors helped to make the windowless space feel airy and bright.

Powder room remodel included moving toilet and sink creating a larger more functional space. The vanity is custom built with sapeli mahogany and granite countertop, Kohler's Ying Yang sink. The design started with the nature inspired wallcovering and bead board wainscot paneling. M J White

Yin Yang, the celebration of opposites. Fire dances above blue glass and reflects in the bowl below. Visitors are warmed up to ten feet away. This portable fire/water feature can hold water within the bowl as a reflecting bowl or cascade over the sides as a fountain.

The Yin Yang fire/water feature embraces opposites. Fire warms the visitor while water cascades over the edge and into the fire section, creating interest and soothing water sounds.

Our team came up with the design and incorporated the “yin yang” symbol, with half of it being the pond, the other half synthetic turf so no extra water was needed to water a lawn. All the plants used in landscaping were also drought tolerant turning this oasis into drought tolerant masterpiece!
