David Rolston Landscape ArchitectsAn urban setting in the very desirable M-Streets / Greenland Hills section of Dallas, a circa 1920's cottage was updated to a more modern feel, but needed a landscape to fit. Patrick L. Boyd-Lloyd, APLD, a designer with David Rolston Landscape Architects, worked with the clients to bring some privacy to the front of the house, featuring a wall of windows, and bridge the back of the house to the pool, which is accessed across the driveway.
The covered structure on the back replaced an old wood deck, and is anchored by the intimate outdoor fireplace. To keep the north facing space from feeling dark and claustrophobic, skylights were added to the standing seem metal roof. The concrete driveway was broken up with Oklahoma Flagstone and brick to create more entertaining space and connect the pool with the house. An pile of rocks that was an old fountain for the pool was replaced with Oklahoma ledge-stone and scuppers for a more timeless, updated look. The rich plant pallet is kept to the understated side to act as a simple backdrop, with accents of color popping out. Texture is added with Agaves, Yuccas, and variegated Ginger.

Room & BoardThe Montego outdoor sofa features a striking mix of solid ipe and hand-welded, outdoor-grade stainless steel, making it as durable as it is eye-catching. Attractive from every angle, Montego looks and feels substantial thanks to wide planks of wood that appear to float in the frame without visible screws or nails. The included weather-resistant cushions add plush comfort. Plus, cleaning is simple thanks to machine-washable, zippered Sunbrella® cushion covers. Over time, the ipe will age to a rich grey color, enhancing this modern sofa’s material mix.
