Enjoy an outdoor café feel in the water
A sunny yet sheltered spot, thanks to the Renson Camargue
Johan Ons (ONS Tuinarchitectuur) can proudly look back on a unique project in Bierbeek. A 20-year-old garden, including a gigantic swimming pond, was given a facelift. Sitting in the middle of the water, the residents can look out over the water’s surface from the cosy comfort of a sunken lounge. An open space sheltered from sun, wind and rain by a Camargue patio cover.
Johan Ons: “The owners specifically wished to enjoy an eye-level view of the water surface of the pond around them from their patio seats. So, when creating the total design of their garden, we provided for a sunken patio surrounded by water, where the windows in the side walls even gave them a view belo... More

Residential Dry Below Deck
Situated overlooking an Alpharetta, Georgia Lake in an upscale neighborhood, plans for this beautiful residence included a new dry-below deck and pool addition.
The lower deck had not been used to its potential. Once the new pool was installed, that lower deck would become a much-desired poolside entertainment area. In their search for a waterproof solution, they found the perfect product to enhance the upper deck and keep the lower deck dry – Duradek.
Duradek Ultra Heritage Agate was installed as an attractive dual solution. The walkable waterproof membrane created a covered poolside patio below and a low maintenance sundeck above, perfect for entertaining on both levels. In addition, the homeowners wanted a new, maintenance... More

Johnson City Residence
This minimalist home was originally designed for a retiring couple moving from an urban lifestyle to live out their golden years in solitude. After the project was abandoned, we recreated the design concept to adapt to more of an urban or suburban context to create a literal oasis for anyone seeking refuge from rugged external conditions.

W. Mary Residences
These four garden courtyard houses embody the feel of south Austin’s eclectic and casual lifestyle. Taking cues from the local neighborhood, the 2-story primary units facing the street are styled in a traditional vernacular form while the rear 1-story accessory dwelling units (ADU’s) take on a low-slung mid-century modern form. Solid (insulated) stack-bonded architectural grade CMU (concrete masonry unit) walls define the ADU’s (accessory dwelling unit) exterior walls which carry through to the interior. Heavy mass gabion walls create privacy and natural garden planter walls. More
Lapure
The stylish, minimalist Lapure consists of a windproof, waterproof, sun protection screen roof that rests on elegant, discrete aluminum columns with no disruptive lateral connection. It is anchored to an existing façade. When the roof is closed, the Lapure provides protection from the sun, wind, and rain. When the roof is open, you can enjoy the sun as the delicate structure is not visually disruptive. There are two types of columns for the Lapure: ‘end columns’ with water drainage (via side channels and columns). Or you can also opt for ‘shifted columns’ (with roof overhang and water drainage via gutters, even when half-open). The latter has a roof overhang that juts out past the columns to provide the optimu... More

Algarve Canvas
This elegant roof offers lasting protection using a fixed roof made up of 2 layers: a solid top roof made of white lacquered, profiled steel sheet with anti-condensation coating and an aesthetic lower roof, finished with a stretched canvas with zip technology. The screen is tautly stretched in the structure, without any visible additional beams. It is available in 8 colors. Algarve Canvas is useful as a fixed patio cover, carport or as an awning above the front door, for instance. Also, a combination of an Algarve with a rotatable louvered roof and an Algarve Canvas with fixed roof structure is possible to create a single, uniform style around the house. More

Leaning Timber Haus
Sited on a hilltop overlooking a 2-acre property, this contemporary residence has a Zen-like, quiet feel at the approach but expands toward the garden to provide for outdoor living and entertaining. Exposed timber framing expresses structural lines of force and gives warmth to the house. Timber and stone lend themselves to an organic expression of the structure growing out of the contour of the ground; this natural expression is carried through to the interior of the home. Wide sliding glass doors along with glazing of corners and of the full height of spaces blur the distinction between inside and outside. More
