Lord DesignThis little, under 100 sq foot playhouse received a complete revamp inside and out. It had ton's of potential but had been long ignored. We decided to design a space that can be used now by the school age grand kids and that could transition to being a cool hang out for teens as well as adults. Without knowing that "She Sheds" would become a thing, we already had that in mind!

Kids CreationsWe are stoked to bring this new swing set model to the Kids Creations lineup for 2015. It has pretty much everything that kids like. Monkey bars, swings, trapeze bar, spiral slide, rock wall, ladder and look-out windows for backyard games such as peek-a-boo. Build it yourself, or let us build it for you, fun and imagination is abound in this playful playground set.
Redbud Design This overgrown, rectangular yard in San Francisco is home to a young couple, their 3-year-old daughter, and twins that were on the way. Typical of many San Francisco yards, it is accessed from the back deck down a long set of stairs. The client wanted to be able to spend quality time in the yard with her two new babies and toddler. The design includes a play structure, a covered sand box, a small raised planter for playing in the dirt. Due to the limited space, several trellises were added to the side and back fence so that vines could add color surrounding the new play area.
Covering an existing concrete pad with cut Connecticut Bluestone enhanced the adult seating area and was surrounded by low maintenance colorful planting beds. A simple but beautiful walkway of stones set in lose pebbles connects these two use areas. Custom lattice was added onto the underside of the deck to hide the large utility area. The existing deck and stairs were repaired and refurbished to improve it’s look and longevity.
The clients were very happy with the end result which came in on time and budget just as the twin girls were born.
Geremia PoolsThe small backyard off the patio was carefully landscaped to include lush flowers and plants that can grow year-round. The cute playhouse with raised vegetable beds were a must for this owner, and our team was eager to make a custom nook for the children, all the while incorporating the small space and patio it includes.

This Victorian style home was beautifully designed from the interior to the exterior. Our clients were looking to update the outdoor space, not only was it not functional, but it did not complement their Victorian home.
Although we had a yearlong waiting list for design, our clients were patient and hired us for 3D design.
Many times, our clients already have all the components in place, such as a pool, outdoor kitchen, fireplace, pergola etc., but they just don’t feel right.
The most important feature of our client’s new space was not only the components, but to be able to have a space that would allow them to create a lifetime of memories. From a visual perspective their existing space seemed limited and confined. Our design team was able to see past this and expanded its space to its full potential which allowed us to create multiple destinations for relaxation, enjoyment and most importantly entertainment.
As we began the design process, we were able to take a closer look at the existing space and noticed many safety concerns and how the existing materials did not accentuate the home either.
At the completion of their 3D design, we were able to present new ideas and materials that would enhance the value of the home as well as help them visualize the new space created with multiple destinations.
Ivory travertine coping & decking was a must as was the Talavera blue highlighted tiles for the newly renovated pool. A new working spa and functional outdoor kitchen with bar were two spaces we are sure they would enjoy while spending time outdoors. We enlarged the existing covered patio to expand the seating area to include chaise lounges, a loveseat and chairs under the pergola shade accent.
Newest favorite additions are the gas firepit and cabin play fort which can be highly utilized year-round. Our clients say, “The adults love hanging out in the fort too!”
Nestled in the Historic District, our client’s home is now filled with plenty of space and great energy for family gatherings, parties, watching sports, graduations and so much more. Who knows, maybe a future wedding or two! Memories of a lifetime will be made here for years to come!
Architecture and lifestyle are always our focus when designing feel good and functional spaces for our clients!
Jamaica Cottage Shop Inc A beautiful playhouse
with an overall height of ten feet. It can be converted to a very attractive storage shed when the kids out grow it.
Reminiscent of old Victorian houses, the steep rooflines and graceful dormer add a fresh style to boring backyard sheds. The two 2x2 opening windows fill the 96 square feet with lots of light making this quaint little cottage irresistible for the kid inside us all. The single door in the dormer is complemented with large double doors on the gable end allowing bulky items to fit in the shelter.

Lord DesignThe new doors are actually old. I salvaged two side- lights from Rejuvenation and BC Custom Construction (thanks Doug!) altered them to be little French doors. Changing the height of the door made it easier to enter the house (no more ducking) and added the whimsy that my client and I were not only shooting for but insisted on. There was a bit of controversy over changing the height of these doors but she and I stood side by side and made sure it happened. Some things are worth fighting for!

Total Sport Solutions, Inc.A backyard court can make great use of space that would otherwise go unused. Safer than playing on the street, more convenient than playing in the driveway, a backyard court will have the kids playing outdoors more than ever.
