The lower floor of the home opens to a bluestone terrace and pathways leading to the water's edge below. A water feature cascades toward the lake thru a composition of basalt outcropping and a tapestry of sedums and other sun loving plants.

street OF DREAMS

WOODINVILLE, WA
ARCHITECT: GELOTTE HOMMAS ARCHITECTURE
BUILDER: MACPHERSON CONSTRUCTION & DESIGN

Echoing the stone columns and horizontal features from the house, the trellis and rain veil provide a dramatic backdrop to a carefully-sited reflection pool. The neighborhood's unsightly detention facility was transformed into a verdant pond planted and bordered by carefully crafted stone walls. An elevated chipping green with multiple trees provides outdoor activity while complementing the home and site.

Working on a rare pre-sale for a Street of Dreams event provided the opportunity to create a show garden with dramatic flair, while also responding to needs and personality of its future owners. Working as a team with Gelotte Hommas Architecture and builder MacPherson Construction & Design, we worked hard to pull key architectural features out into the garden to create vibrant, dynamic spaces.
