Drawn first, built second.
Four sample projects, each told from the problem to the first evening outside. A live site shows the owner's own jobs, sketches and site photos.

A steep back slope turned into three level rooms
The yard fell away from the house so steeply that nobody went past the deck stairs, and the bottom of the slope stayed wet until May.

An outdoor kitchen under a roof, usable in November
A grill on the deck, a cover nobody took off, and a cook who stood in the rain in the dark.

Lighting a mature garden without lifting the lawn
A beautiful garden that disappeared at 4:30 every December. The owners could not see the steps to the front door.
