Natural Pool and Spa, Hawaii

On flat barren tropical tract of land, literally came this multi-space island featuring a boulder lined “organically” purified swimming pool, a tea-house pavilion made from hand hewn beams from Bali, and a “green” pump room completely hidden beneath an elevated tropical garden.

Waterfall Monument, Fredericksburg, VA

This massive, dramatic waterfall and pond, built in the low rolling hills of Virginia, was truly a monumental undertaking. Designed and built using basalt columns and granite slabs, it acted just as that – a monument – to the retirement community whose entry it distinguished .

Courtyard Waterfall, Bellevue, WA

Believe it or not, this tiny estate courtyard originally featured a swimming pool. The challenge was to convert this swimming pool into a flowing and graceful statement of nature that exaggerated perspective to feel spacious and yet with intimate detail.

Infinity Pond, Hawaii

A reflecting pond designed and built with an infinity waterfall edge reflect the sky from a large open-air living space. A pathway of crafted broken blue glass created a backlit stream that entered from the living space into this pond. The seemingly floating stone steps allow you to almost literally walk on water.

Salmon Creek/Waterfront Estate, Mercer Island, WA

Stone Masonry is featured in this waterfront landscape in keeping with the residential house masonry, while cultivating a natural shoreline design. Boulders integrate with the turf and patios, and line the sides of the newly renovated salmon stream.
