ESSENCE OF THE FLAME
You are invited to an afternoon fete in a garden along the French countryside where love of cooking and the beauty of nature magically come together. An outdoor kitchen is where the magic happens, where family and friends gather as vegetables, fresh herbs, and freshly baked bread kiss the fire and bathe in the spirit of the smoke. Savor in a slow flame pit cooked meal where hidden flavors are discovered amongst aromas of lavender, sage, rosemary and citrus. Calling to the Pit Master to come and light the flame and enhance the experience of the pit.

In every project, we emphasize on FUN, our goal for drawing outside the lines in this design is to bring in the unusual, the colorful and the complimentary. Textural tiles under your feet give way to transition in between surfaces.

TRANQUIL GARDEN DREAMS
Relax as you enjoy this soothing California-friendly contemporary garden. Enjoy comfortable seating and sunshine as you listen to the soft sounds of water gently flowing from the modern fountain, adding a sense of smooth motion and tranquility. Head down the path and step into the shade of a pergola designed to capture rainwater and save it discretely for watering on drier days. Take in the garden views and gently sway in the cozy swing chairs. Vibrant and colorful low water plants add to the fun, while muted color stones and pavers pick up the hues of the surrounding furniture. Year-round enjoyment and low water use make these Tranquil Garden Dreams come true.

A LITTLE PIECE OF CHANGE
One step into this upcycled garden and you’re never going to want to leave. Lovingly tend to your herb garden then take a breather in the charming garden shed. Sink into the comfy sofa while enjoying the sweet aroma of garden scents. Listen to the rain, watch the water run down rain chains and collect in a barrel that will later be used to water the garden. Stroll down the cobblestone path surrounded with colorful succulents and lose yourself in a book under the shade of the grand old tree.
