Carlson & Mosley Architects http://www.carlsonmosleyarch.com architecture, gardens and the celebration of fine craft Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:26:09 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 Spring Flowers http://www.carlsonmosleyarch.com/2011/05/spring-flowers/ http://www.carlsonmosleyarch.com/2011/05/spring-flowers/#comments Thu, 05 May 2011 15:28:46 +0000 admin http://www.carlsonmosleyarch.com/?p=327 The recent days have been simply gorgeous.  It’s hard to stay inside when the sky is blue and all the vegetation starts blooming with color.  One thing that we stress to our clients when designing a project, is not to forget the connection of the physical building to the outside garden.  The flow between the two should be a smooth continuous transition.  The outdoor “rooms” should be just as important as the indoor rooms.  On days like we’re having now, the outdoor rooms are some of the most used spaces if designed well.

It’s hard to quantify how much our lives benefit from the vegetation around us.  But, I know that after a stressful day, a walk in a garden full of color and fragrance brings an instant calm.  The photos below are from gardens we designed for our clients.  Enjoy!

If our website were a building it would probably be a stretch to equate it with Villa Rotunda, but I do think it’s coming along!

If our website were a building, this is where we would be in the process!
