Pergolas & Cabanas

Shade and shelter that belong to the house.

What we build

A structure is the fastest way to make a yard usable in the evening. Plan the power before the posts go in.

How it works

Our six step design process.

  1. 01Discovery CallAn on-site meeting with the design team to discuss the project and listen to your needs, requirements and budget.
  2. 02Proposal & DepositA design proposal for the project, with a deposit to secure the work.
  3. 03Base ModelThe team builds a base model of the house and existing exterior, then a video call to go over early concepts.
  4. 04Design MagicThe design itself. Every conversation we have had feeds into it.
  5. 05Design RevealA video call walking you through a 3D tour of the space, discussing revisions — some made live.
  6. 06Design FinalizationRevisions applied, then drawings and documents go to the construction team and the build begins.

A project we built.

Night aerial of the terraced garden, the curved retaining walls and steps lit along their length

Los Altos, CA

Amber Lane

A sloping Los Altos property rebuilt as a set of terraces. Curved poured-concrete retaining walls sweep across the fall of the land with lighting recessed into their faces, and a wide flight of concrete steps climbs from the lower terrace to the house with every riser lit. Two structures sit on the paving: a steel-framed pavilion with a timber-lined ceiling over the outdoor kitchen and dining table, and a second over a swim spa set into a composite deck. A gravel court off to one side holds a ring of chairs around a fire bowl. The planters are built into the wall line and run to grasses, agave, succulents and roses, and one curved bed is planted Japanese-style around a stone pagoda lantern and a seated figure, uplit after dark.
