Landscape Art

Landscape design for a single family home in the Freemont neighborhood of Seattle.

The client was inspired by Japanese design elements but didn't want a full Japanese garden so I created what I like to call a Pan-Asian landscape.

I am potentially getting a new landscape design project in Mercer Island starting tomorrow. This project is a multifamily condo conversion and is going to be a quality but reasonable priced project. My design needs to incorporate pervious and impervious surface calculations give a spacious quality feeling without causing added run off. I will post pictures of the project tomorrow.

Later,

Nathan

Landscape design drawings

These working drawings were created for a single family residence around 2003-4. This design uses a trellis and planting to create a secret garden in the front yard.

More drawings for you to enjoy

This drawing was from the arboretum in Rome


This one is the main square in Siena

Black and White Hand Drawings From a Previous Design Project

More planter membrane termination details

On the left a cantilevered piece of concrete with a drip edge at 15 degrees.

On the right a metal flashing cast inot the concrete at time of the pour. You should imagine that this has a two piece to it one to get cast and the other to be installed after the membrane is installed.

Portfolio drawings

These images are from my portfolio. I created these pen and ink drawings and watercolors while visiting Italy as part of a foreign study program in landscape architecture. I drew approximately 300 drawings in that 3 month trip. I hope you enjoy these drawings. The origional Duomo Trento drawing stayed in Italy at friends that we stayed with as a thank you gift for letting stay with them. I am going back to Italy and spain for three weeks with my wife and some family friends. When I am there I will create some more drawings to add to my portfolio. I will continue to add drawings from my portfolio in the future. I hope that those of you that enjoy aspects of my blog will pass on the address to your friends and family to help get the word out. When I get more time I will post some more educational posts until then.

Thanks,
