The property is one of the original farm houses located on the main street of a small town. It has been in the family for many years and our client just inherited the property. They were trying to have balance of preserving the old while realizing modern day living has its benefits too. The house had a large addition added using mostly old style materials, but designed with function and modern day luxuries. Our goal was to carry that theme to the outside. Our first problem we had to address was how to transition between the first floor elevation changes. The lower room was the husband’s office. He stated in the future he may have clients over and it would be nice to have an area to sit outside. The wife’s main concern was to renew the four corner garden. She also felt it was very important to be able to see it from the kitchen area. Finally there was an old wishing well stuck right outside the kitchen. They both felt it would be neat to be able to incorporate this in some how. They wanted a patio area with a built in grill to accommodate there family and friends. They also wanted to keep a large play area for the kids. We were able to pull this off successfully. We addressed the first issue by having a small lower level flagstone area. This area is large enough for 1 to 2 people to sit comfortably. It also provides a transition from his office to the larger patio area. We installed a simple small gravel sitting area opposite of the main patio. This provides our client a secluded place to relax or do business. Mrs.... told me she is amazed how much her and her husband enjoys this area. It is so peaceful looking at the small creek over a glass of wine. We built a natural limestone retaining wall to create the patio terrace. The stone was chosen to extend the houses architectural elements into the landscape. Irregular broken flagstone was used to give it a more casual feel. We installed three Serviceberries into the patio terrace to replace some trees that were taken down during the remodeling. She was very concern that they would block the view of the four corner garden. We new they were crucial to nestle in the terrace, so we placed them for a couple days for her to decide. Fortunately she agreed they not only kept the view open, but helped frame the garden. The four corner garden was designed to be viewed from afar and experienced up close. We wanted the space to have some formal structure while keeping with the casual farm house feel. Another natural limestone retaining wall was created. This leveled the garden terrace and helped associate it with the rest of the property. The four corner garden is nestled into the existing woods edge. This provides three distinct experiences to entering the garden; a more formal from the driveway, an open feel from the lower lawn, and a more natural / casual experience from the wooded area. The Plymouth brown gravel was used for the center of the garden. This helped highlight the stone post that was found during construction. The gravel also brings the sense of sound into the garden space. Lamb’s ear was chosen as a fun way to get kids interest in horticulture. The balance of using the new to create the old feel is what makes this project a success. The property has already hosted a local historical society event and won an award for its preservation efforts. When Mrs.... can’t find her husband, she knows he is either reading the newspaper by the grill or resting in the hammock along the wood’s path.

Coastal Modern Farmhouse (Industrial, comfortable and budget friendly)

Brittany Stiles Design

A 1940's bungalow was renovated and transformed for a small family. This is a small space - 800 sqft (2 bed, 2 bath) full of charm and character. Custom and vintage furnishings, art, and accessories give the space character and a layered and lived-in vibe. This is a small space so there are several clever storage solutions throughout. Vinyl wood flooring layered with wool and natural fiber rugs. Wall sconces and industrial pendants add to the farmhouse aesthetic. A simple and modern space for a fairly minimalist family. Located in Costa Mesa, California. Photos: Ryan Garvin

The White Garden - Barn Conversion - Chester

Jane Houghton Garden Design Studio

pergola, oak timber modern, water feature Originally the proverbial blank canvas of a lawn and a bit of paving, our clients understandably wanted more from their idyllically located rural getaway. They asked for a design that incorporated the style of the dwelling and the feel of the local area, yet allowed for multiple seating areas and the ability to entertain guests in various settings. So we created the design around 3 distinct activity areas, and a select palette of clay pavers, to harmonise with the cheshire brick barn walls, oak timber and a soft grey sandstone. The Bistro area is perfect for intimate dining, while the Alfresco cooking area with the Green Egg setup provides a space for outdoor cooking and grilling. The lounge area, with its clay paver rug, offers a cosy spot to relax and unwind. The focal point of the garden is the feature pergola made of Green Oak, which not only adds a touch of rustic charm but also provides a framed walkway towards a striking water feature. All the borders of the garden are filled with a combination of herbaceous plants, shrubs, and pleached hornbeam screens. This creates a lush and vibrant backdrop, while also ensuring privacy and seclusion. The planting palette is kept simple and elegant, with a focus on pure white flowers and different shades of green foliage. This combination creates a serene and calming atmosphere, evoking a sense of tranquillity in the garden. Overall, the garden is designed to maximise the use of the available space, allowing for various activities and creating an inviting and peaceful ambiance.

Modern European Cottage

yardscapes Inc.

I was initially contacted by the builder and architect working on this Modern European Cottage to review the property and home design before construction began. Once the clients and I had the opportunity to meet and discuss what their visions were for the property, I started working on their wish list of items, which included a custom concrete pool, concrete spa, patios/walkways, custom fencing, and wood structures. One of the largest challenges was that this property had a 30% (or less) hardcover surface requirement for the city location. With the lot size and square footage of the home I had limits to how much hardcover we could add to property. So, I had to get creative. We presented to the city the usage of the Live Green Roof plantings that would reduce the hardcover calculations for the site. Also, if we kept space between the Laurel Sandstones walkways, using them as steppers and planting groundcover or lawn between the stones that would also reduce the hard surface calculations. We continued that theme with the back patio as well. The client’s esthetic leaned towards the minimal style, so by adding greenery between stones work esthetically. I chose the Laurel Tumbled Sandstone for the charm and character and thought it would lend well to the old world feel of this Modern European Cottage. We installed it on all the stone walkways, steppers, and patios around the home and pool. I had several meetings with the client to discuss/review perennials, shrubs, and tree selections. Plant color and texture of the planting material were equally important to the clients when choosing. We grouped the plantings together and did not over-mix varieties of plants. Ultimately, we chose a variety of styles from natural groups of plantings to a touch of formal style, which all work cohesively together. The custom fence design and installation was designed to create a cottage “country” feel. They gave us inspiration of a country style fence that you may find on a farm to keep the animals inside. We took those photos and ideas and elevated the design. We used a combination of cedar wood and sandwich the galvanized mesh between it. The fence also creates a space for the clients two dogs to roam freely around their property. We installed sod on the inside of the fence to the home and seeded the remaining areas with a Low Gro Fescue grass seed with a straw blanket for protection. The minimal European style custom concrete pool was designed to be lined up in view from the porch and inside the home. The client requested the lawn around the edge of the pool, which helped reduce the hardcover calculations. The concrete spa is open year around. Benches are on all four sides of the spa to create enough seating for the whole family to use at the same time. Mortared field stone on the exterior of the spa mimics the stone on the exterior of the home. The spa equipment is installed in the lower level of the home to protect it from the cold winter weather. Between the garage and the home’s entry is a pea rock sitting area and is viewed from several windows. I wanted it to be a quiet escape from the rest of the house with the minimal design. The Skyline Locust tree planted in the center of the space creates a canopy and softens the side of garage wall from the window views. The client will be installing a small water feature along the garage for serene noise ambience. The client had very thoughtful design ideas styles, and our collaborations all came together and worked well to create the landscape design/installation. The result was everything they had dreamed of and more for their Modern European Cottage home and property.

Come arredare un giardino country

Giardini ben curati e decorati risultano essere dei veri e propri paesaggi da ammirare. Non è necessario raggiungere la perfezione di un giardino giapponese: puoi creare uno spazio verde accogliente anche nel giardino nel retro di casa. Valuta tutte le diverse soluzioni caricate dagli utenti Houzz e, se non trovi l’idea che fa per te, contatta uno dei nostri professionisti, come i designer del verde. Se sei amante del giardinaggio fai da te, potrai rendere questo spazio il tuo orto botanico personale, prendendo spunto dalle tante idee per spazi verdi contenute nel nostro magazine. Seguendo i ritmi della fioritura di piante e fiori, il tuo giardino country cambierà con il variare delle stagioni, dotandosi ogni volta di colori diversi. Aiuole di tulipani lo coloreranno tra marzo e maggio, mentre le rose la faranno da padrone durante i mesi successivi. Ovviamente tutto da quanto tempo a disposizione hai per dedicarti alla cura del tuo giardino e dalla tua passione per il giardinaggio. Se invece non hai il pollice verde, perchè non optare per un prato d’erba, da movimentare con elementi come un sentiero di ghiaia, una fontana o un piccolo stagno, un muretto in pietra o una staccionata in legno?

Come sfruttare gli ornamenti decorativi per arredare un giardino country

Utilizzandoli nel modo corretto e posizionandoli con cura e senso pratico, gli ornamenti da giardino possono dare quel tocco in più al tuo spazio esterno. Un tavolo e qualche sedia, accompagnati da lanterne da appendere ai rami di un albero oppure al porticato, possono dare quel senso di serenità ricercato. Attenzione però allo stile: qualsiasi sceglierai, avrà un forte impatto sul look del tuo ambiente. È opportuno quindi che sia coerente con gli altri elementi decorativi, sia del giardino stesso che dell'esterno della casa. Un cancello in legno o in ferro battuto che si apre su un piccolo sentiero in pietre accompagnerà i tuoi ospiti all'interno del tuo giardino country, guidandoli fino all'ingresso di casa. Lungo il percorso, l'ospite potrà incontrare una panca sulla destra, un'aiuola decorata con i tuoi fiori preferiti sulla sinistra, oppure una staccionata. Un angolo con il barbecue offrirà la possibilità di pranzi e cene estive all’aria aperta con amici e parenti, mentre uno spazio di gioco lo renderà il posto preferito dei bambini. Se il vostro giardino è particolarmente esposto al sole, può essere utile installare un pergolato o un gazebo, per poterlo sfruttare anche durante le ore più calde.
