Garden Retreat
What used to be a stormwater problem where water flowed into the basement became an intentional terrace
The plant that every garden needs in whatever size of Manzanita fits
We sunk this trampoline in the ground to make more space for the adult garden
Watch the kids in the hot tub or on the trampoline from the lounge
Lounge off the hot tub
With a bench along the garage to perch when you get too hot
With a place for one to prep for the spa
Designing for all of the creatures
Natural x Minimal
These DWR battery operated lanterns are the perfect addition to these raised CB2 planters
For those spots where grass just won't grow

Designing for Designers
Design / Build : Portland, Oregon
Designing for a designer is always a fun play with ideas. The back and forth, the hand drawing through ideas, the richness of layers that comes through as minds meld together. This was just that - a total joy to work on with this technical fashion designer.
We started by solving some major stormwater issues where water would annually flow into the basement. (What!?) We quickly solved that with some proper downspout connections to Flowells below the kids trampoline, created a hardscape the slopes away from the house, terraced the garden and curated multiple outdoor rooms for the family to enjoy.
