Plantings beds in the back were made more natural with bright flowers to match the surrounding areas of the preserved open-space.
-
The building allowed us to blend the landscape into and through the architecture of the building as seen with the tree protruding through the void in the horizontal roof plane. The landscape site walls imbedded with plant material help bring the horizontal elements of the architecture into the landscape and ground the structure.
-
Groups of mass plantings help soften and define the outdoor rooms while keeping the design simple and clean.
-
The silo is a strong focal point on the building and the landscape design echoed this form across the site. The concentric radial bands are offsets of the center point of the silo and have perpendicular bands that resonate form from the core of the mass.
-
We created many different outdoor rooms including a rustic inground fire pit with a mix of natural materials (boulders and sandstone steppers) as well as man-made forms (pre-cast concrete) used to define the firepit.
-
Designed as a showroom the natural water feature allows us to show the calming nature and pleasant sounds a water element can add to a landscape. The meandering stream is soothing to the eye and by bringing the turf grass directly to the edge mimics the look you find on a historic farm pond or drainage way.

The faux vertical fireplace chase is strong vertical element, designed to echo the large vertical nature of the buildings silo. The cut stacked logs are a twist of contemporary design mixed in amongst a traditional form of the fireplace element. An outdoor ping pong table is used by employees throughout the day to take a quick break and get some extra Vitamin D.

The large gracious lawn steps allow you to transition from the finished floor elevation down into the garden and open space just beyond. They also allow for impromptu stadium seating for gatherings and yard games.
-
This raised formal water feature is just outside our board room, where large, floor to ceiling windows allow you to enjoy the reflective nature of the stone and water flowing up and over the polished stone.
-
This smaller gathering place is set apart just enough from the rest of the space to help make this area feel intimate. The large fire strip off to the side of this patio is a great visual feature and the raised concrete wall just behind the fire provides the flames a blank canvas to display its every evolving light show.
-
The covered outdoor kitchen was designed with a mix of materials that either matched or complimented the materials on the main building.
-
Grasses were mass planted throughout the landscape to add volume to the landscape while still being able to maintain a clean form.
-
The same reclaimed wood that was used on the building was used to build the outdoor pavilion. Antique farm pieces were brought from an old farm in Kansas to add character throughout the property.
-
A fire bowl firepit was one of the seating areas created to showcase a highly requested element for our clients. This area acts as another intimate setting for employees to gather after work.
-
This shot shows all the outdoor pavilion has to offer, from two separate seating areas with fire elements, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. Tv, and AV equipment throughout the property.
-
All the furniture throughout the property was designed by our newest department, outdoor furniture. This property is truly a showcase of all the different departments that our company offers to our high-end clientele.

A very detailed design ensures success. It is a roadmap for the installation team for proper execution. But, always good to be flexible as was the case working with a project that had revisions arise throughout construction.
