Tumalo Guest House

2009-09-09T13:51:00.000-07:00

This was the original home on the property and it is located close to the propertyline. To create more usable space and a better view from the home the existing junipers were removed. A raised bed and a row of Moonglow Juniper restore privacy and add a nice back drop to the private lawn area.

The patio accommodates the outdoor barbecue and eating area while the upper deck takes advantage of the mountain views.

There were a couple of challenges to this design. The main entrance to the home is the front sliding glass door. The existing steps up to the deck took visitors directly to the side entrance so we needed to redirect the circulation. The second item is that the view from the entry deck is incredible but the hot tub and existing railing were having a negative impact on the view corridor.
First we added a step assembly to the front of the deck and made the side steps more hidden. Then we modified the deck space by having a sitting area at the highest point. The hot tub was placed on a lower level and skewed to the side so it was not in the view corridor. We removed the railing and installed raised planters to meet code and allow plants into the space. An intimate sitting area on the side looks over the trickling stream.

Deer have been a continuing challenge for the homeowner. The deer are eating some of the most proven resistant plants. The homeowner has used manzanita branches as a deer fence.

The residents of this home are avid bird watchers and wanted a waterfeature that would attract birds to their home. The feature is designed with a trickling stream and several small pools for the birds to drink and bathe. The large pond at the end of the stream adds to the scenic view from the front deck.

The entry to this charming guest house was overwhelmed by a large expanse of asphalt. We consolidated the parking area that allowed for an intimate seating area and an entry walkway too.

This waterfeature was strategically placed to provide serene acustics for the outdoor kitchen eating area, firepit, and private sitting area. Elevating the headwaters allowed the waterfeature to be seen from the interior living space. It is also viewed and heard from a second story deck and bedrooms above.
