Portfolio

Every job starts as a site.

Each project below is filed by where it actually is: measured and photographed, drawn, or presented and signed. Nothing is staged and nothing is borrowed.

2D site plan Indigenous Landscape

Hardscape Material Plan

A full hardscape sheet: bluestone patio at 685.3 sq ft, 101.2 sq ft of fieldstone retaining wall, six granite steps and a cobblestone apron, all dimensioned and called out so the crew can price it and build it without guessing.

Saldana Residence

A dated timber deck, a run of bare lawn and a service strip along the garage wall. This is the site as the contractor found it: measured, photographed from the air and handed to us to design against.

Why this page is short

We publish late, on purpose.

Your job is yours first

A design does not go on this page until you have presented it to your homeowner and closed the job. Nobody browses your pitch before you have given it.

Builds run long

High end outdoor jobs run six months to two years. The design is finished long before the photographs of the finished build exist.

New work lands monthly

Around ten designs leave the studio a week. This page is topped up as each one clears its presentation, so check back or ask to see work in your category.
