materials II

November 3, 2008

We’ve  been so lucky this summer/fall to have clients that allow us and inspire us to use new interesting materials, as well as the opportunity to explore different material combinations.  Here are a few more pics of materials and textures we’re playing with in a current design project.  These images show (in order) Japanese river rock, Lumasite fencing material, simple grey trap rock up against and big old Maple tree, and Ipe decking with metal grating (soon to be set within the deck).  

We’re having fun chronicling this project throughout its transformation.  One of the best parts of working on this site is the array of different materials and textures used in the landscape.  Here are some pictures of the different materials used and their interaction with each other.  Hopefully by the end of next week the decking, stairs, and fences will be up.  Can’t wait to see this space finished.
