Tucson Patio StruXureOur products feature pivoting louvers that can be easily activated using a smartphone, to block out the sun or allow for air flow. The louvers will also close on their own when rain is detected, or open automatically during wind storms. The sturdy pergolas are made of extruded aluminum, with a powder coating in a variety of colors, which make it easy to coordinate the structures with the design of the home. With added lights and fans, it’s easier than ever to entertain outdoors.

Stefano Marinaz Landscape ArchitectureWe have just returned to Alexander Square, in the heart of London’s museum quarter, where we designed a front garden around a wonderful fig tree. Two years later we have been commissioned to remodel the back garden of a neighbouring house, a Grade ll listed building currently under renovation by Smallwood Architects.
The garden is on two levels – ground floor and basement. On the ground floor it will be enclosed on two sides by a slatted iroko fence. We will use verticals of different widths and depths to avoid monotony and add drama to this garden boundary.
A regular enfilade of large pots against the fence will create a striking visual axis, with the spaces between the pots marked by embellished bronze uprights set into the fence. Opposite the fence there will be a camellia hedge to enclose the other side of the garden, its dark green leaves studded with white flowers in spring.
In the shade of a large Paulownia tree on the left hand side, we will plant shade-loving perennials. And beyond the tree there will be a circular table, illuminated at night by pendant lights. The rest of the garden will be lit by spike lights, positioned to highlight pots, trees, paths and other important features.
A multi stemmed, flowering tree in a pot will frame the top of the steps to the basement, where our client has his office desk overlooking the garden. Here we will transform an existing pool into a flowerbed, filling it with the same shade loving plants that we have used at street level. Two pots, also similar to the ones upstairs, will create a new water feature with gentle vertical jets that will be illuminated at night.

Flavin ArchitectsThis new modern house is located in a meadow in Lenox MA. The house is designed as a series of linked pavilions to connect the house to the nature and to provide the maximum daylight in each room. The center focus of the home is the largest pavilion containing the living/dining/kitchen, with the guest pavilion to the south and the master bedroom and screen porch pavilions to the west. While the roof line appears flat from the exterior, the roofs of each pavilion have a pronounced slope inward and to the north, a sort of funnel shape. This design allows rain water to channel via a scupper to cisterns located on the north side of the house. Steel beams, Douglas fir rafters and purlins are exposed in the living/dining/kitchen pavilion.

Gayler Design BuildOur client, a young executive in the cosmetics industry, wanted to take advantage of a very large, empty space between her house and pool to create a beautiful and functional outdoor living space to entertain family and clients, and to hold business meetings.
Gayler Design Build, in collaboration with Jeff Culbertson/Culbertson Durst Interiors, designed and built this gorgeous Outdoor Great Room.
She needed a place that could accommodate a small group of 8 for Sunday brunch, to a large corporate gathering of 35 colleagues. She wanted the outdoor great room to be contemporary (so that it coordinated with the interior of her home), comfortable and inviting.
Clearspan roof design allowed for maximum space underneath and heaters and fans were added for climate control, along with 2 TVs and a stereo system for entertaining. The bar seats 6, and has a large Fire Magic BBQ and 2 burner cooktop, 2 under counter refrigerators, a warming drawer and assorted cabinets and drawers.

Nature's TouchIpe decking, Earthworks EW Gold Stone decking, and exposed aggregate concrete create a beautiful contrast and balance that give this outdoor architecture design a Frank Lloyd Wright feel. Ipe decking is one of the finest quality wood materials for luxury outdoor projects. The exotic wood originates from South America. This environment contains a fire pit, with cobblestone laid underneath. Shallow, regress lighting is underneath each step and the fire feature to illuminate the elevation change. The bench seating is fabricated stone that was honed to a beautiful finish. This project also features an outdoor kitchen to cater to family or guests and create a total outdoor living experience.
