Step into our recently completed landscaping masterpiece, where form meets function in a seamless blend of elegance. This project showcases the exquisite Barkman Concrete 65mm Broadway pavers in a serene Sterling color, establishing a durable and timeless foundation for the outdoor space. Paired with a double border in both Charcoal and Natural hues, the patio exudes visual interest and defines the area with subtle contrast. The crowning jewel of this backyard oasis is the inviting patio, featuring the Broadway pavers. The Sterling color imparts a modern and calming ambiance, while the dual-border design adds a touch of sophistication. Notably, the pool deck, skillfully crafted by another subcontractor, seamlessly integrates with the overall design. Constructed from concrete, the pool deck ensures a slip-resistant and comfortable surface, creating a safe and enjoyable space for relaxation and entertainment. Adjacent to the pool, a spacious entertainment patio beckons guests to gather and create lasting memories. The Sterling-colored pavers provide a smooth transition from the pool deck, establishing a cohesive and visually pleasing flow throughout the entire backyard. A carefully planned garden bed, bursting with vibrant plantings, adds a natural touch to the space. Strategically placed, the garden bed complements the hardscape elements and softens the overall design, creating a harmonious balance between nature and architecture. Completing the landscape is a carpet of lush sod, bringing a vibrant green element to the surroundings. The combination of the Broadway pavers, the concrete pool deck, the garden bed, and the sod transforms the backyard into a multifunctional haven that seamlessly marries aesthetics with functionality. Our completed landscaping project not only enhances the visual appeal of the outdoor space but also provides a versatile and welcoming environment for relaxation, entertainment, and enjoyment. The Barkman Concrete 65mm Broadway pavers in Sterling color, paired with the double border in Charcoal and Natural colours, creates a foundation for a timeless and sophisticated outdoor retreat.

This project was designed to accommodate the client’s wish to have a traditional and functional barn that could also serve as a backdrop for social and corporate functions. Several years after it’s completion, this has become just the case as the clients routinely host everything from fundraisers to cooking demonstrations to political functions in the barn and outdoor spaces. In addition to the barn, Axial Arts designed an indoor arena, cattle & hay barn, and a professional grade equipment workshop with living quarters above it. The indoor arena includes a 100′ x 200′ riding arena as well as a side space that includes bleacher space for clinics and several open rail stalls. The hay & cattle barn is split level with 3 bays on the top level that accommodates tractors and front loaders as well as a significant tonnage of hay. The lower level opens to grade below with cattle pens and equipment for breeding and calving. The cattle handling systems and stocks both outside and inside were designed by Temple Grandin- renowned bestselling author, autism activist, and consultant to the livestock industry on animal behavior. This project was recently featured in Cowboy & Indians Magazine. As the case with most of our projects, Axial Arts received this commission after being recommended by a past client.

Many garden rooms are a simple box, but this project had to be different because of the odd shape of the garden. We combined the geometry with a raw exposed timber structure to create an interesting garden office space. The oversized stud work is clad in seared larch cladding on the outside with 170mm of insulation ans plywood internal wall lining. The internal part of the timber studs projects one foot into the space creating a shelving system and table cantilever from the structure allowing for a flexible and functional space. Large glass sliding panels frame the garden with a central skylight capping the vaulted roof. Externally a green sedum room blends the structure into the mature garden.
