Designing an outdoor space takes a lot more than a few trees or flower beds. It requires a plethora of elements that come together as a whole that appears pleasing and provides your home with the space for entertaining, relaxing, and so much more. The visual celebration is a merger of varied materials for pathways, flower beds, and other elements. And that’s how you could landscape your backyard.

INTERSECTION was re-vamped more than 10 years ago with Ivy as editor and I was her assistant. The editorial team has always been small - we are four people now. Each quite different in character from the other though similar in other ways - we are more likely get things done rather than wait, more inclined to include rather to cast out, willing to go the extra mile for a better article, layout or lunch company.

Sustainability begins with a conversation, and acquiring customer buy-in is entirely dependent on how the conversation is framed. Clients may not see sustainability as a priority out of fear of operational costs and quality. While these are legitimate concerns, it is our responsibility as architects to listen and foster a collaborative culture that answers client issues while also reducing our carbon footprint.

In that time, I've watched the project evolve into something impressive—better than I could have imagined at the start. The catch?… The catch is crunch.
