The use of the pencil bar and graph paper background is an attempt at humor, since I now design exclusively with CAD.

A Rustic Country Courtyard

What
A proposal for an unused space between the garage and the main residence to be turned into a multi-functional courtyard. The significant feature of the project is the use of mixed materials for paving.

Where
Washington County, Oregon

Why
The homeowners need a place for family gatherings, outdoor dining, and also capable of withstanding occasional heavy traffic from loaded wheelbarrows or small equipment (the property is a working farm).

How
It is proposed that the area be paved with mixed materials, set off/bordered by landscape timbers. Each section of paving should be a different material, such as flagstone, cobbles, pea-gravel finished concrete, etcetera. This mix of materials will create a rustic effect, which is in keeping with the rural setting of the project. Small trees will provide shade, and generous planting beds will offer visual interest throughout the year.

Pencil bar

As of June 2002 I have been on an extended medical leave, and am unable to take on new clients. It is too soon to say for sure when I will be able to return to designing, but we are hoping that perhaps in the latter portion of 2003 GardenFoundation's studio will again be open for designing.
