In the solitude of court discovery

The newly renovated courtyard was the direction for many solutions in the front part of the outer zone. Estes wanted to create a unique experience to entry. The house is located very close to the beach and the proximity to the water has influenced many aspects of design, plant equipment and Hardscape color palette. Despite the abundant inspiration from the sea, the atmosphere is no exaggeration Beachy. The farm provides a sound and practical reference for motor traffic. On the one hand, he sees the cars going well and on the other – it includes roads. It has a route to the front door, one for trash and one for the living room. We wanted to have access to the garage door and space for waste disposal. That's why we created this parallel to the comfortable seating and dining outdoors. Estes said this challenge, the following: With all these requirements for access to different places, it is that if we had not been paying attention, we could have created a few ways. Planters stainless steel had been used in the courts and Estes joined in the front part of the outer zone. It was obtained by dividing mirror and an extension of the visual effects of the room. You can not see everything in one glance. Decide cedar fence A cedar fence surrounding space. The owners were originally built motivated by the desire to protect against the wind and ocean water spray. They wanted to achieve privacy, but at the same time you did not like the idea that the fence is opaque and separates completely from the outside world. Estes has created a surrounding structure through which one can see through. The garden is still private, but the way is a view inside the court offered. Yourself merge with the coastal By gravel and concrete ready, which are left on the boardwalk, the theme of the contemporary sea was expanded. According to Estes, the colors of the measurement is realized really took the character of the local beach. It's pretty gray. Although you realize clearly that this is a way for paving roads, but the diagonal lines and pairs of rollers are really feel that art. Featured Plant Acanthus Plants decisions The plants in the yard are some practical tasks. The home owner wanted to have something with large evergreen. Estes has in designing the Acanthus mollis guy decided (rocks). The underground tubers of plants spread quickly. With fresh air, which the sea, but this process is rather limited. The acanthus is one of the few plants that timesheets can tolerate salt water and whipping wind. Gray feather grass was used because of its height. The swing is reminiscent of the water will be close. Fettenhennen fill the raised beds. Many planted Kalmus (Acorus) crowded the edges of the court. Maple Stay with wine in the shade The owner wanted to plant more. The company Estes said they were in no way forget that the home owner wanted to use the bathroom at night. He had to think of the observation well. For this reason, they also planted maple wine in the southwest part of the dining room. So protect yourself from the sun in the afternoon and the room would still open to the southwest. The sun can also easily pass through. Shaping modern court Enjoy beautiful views The court is looking outside of the Puget Sound. Estes rained heavily on the choice of homeowners for a modern garden. The result was more than perfect, probably because of it, because the enthusiasm was accompanied by so much inspiration and joy. Modern architecture, in whose mind the design is invented, it leaves a sense of creativity and perfection.
