Architectural Stone Work
This fire rock has the gas
bubbling up from the
bottom...very McBethian
"Aynee"  is Arabic for my eye.  
This is my ninth in a series spread
across the USA
This coffee table/fire pit was
depressed into the ground so
that the long view from the
house was uninhibited.
Uprighted stones have had a
universal appeal since the most
ancient times.   I love to link with
our distant past.
Sometimes there is no room for a pool
for the fountain, that's where on of my
self contained "Bubbling Boulders" will
give you that lovely water sound
The theme for the development
behind this entry was Tuscany so
what would be more natural than a
roman arch made from sandstone
blocks
These basalt columns look as
though they were melting from
the summer heat.  This grouping
gives a magical flair to this
gorgeous setting.
Sometimes it is impossible to improve
the beauty provided by nature.  This
"twisted rock" was drilled out for water
but also there is a light deeply
embedded in the top of the stone so
that the water glows at night
The King and Queen can enjoy
a refreshing beverage and dip
while viewing their realm from
these brown granite thrones.
Yes, we also build pyramids!  In the
background you will see the great pyramid at
Giza.  This small replica we built to show the
various techniques used in construction of the
ancient pyramids.  If you are really interested
in how they were built then buy
my book.
This black granite sign says a
lot about the beautiful
community which rests behind it
Fire Pits come in many varieties,
only limited by the imagination
The above fountain sits in an
atrium within a small office
building an greets the
employees and visitors with the
soothing sound of cascading
water.  Below is a view of the
same fountain from the second
floor
A small water feature in the entry
courtyard is good fung-shui.
My client saw this Madonna in the stone when
it was a rough boulder and she was right.
This combination of the
soothing sound of the fountain
and the warm flickering flame
from the fire pit are  very
dynamic combination
Zozar I
These selected sculptural
boulders make this a world class
reflecting pool
These chairs were specially
made to fit for the client
These contemporary looking sinks are in an ultra
modern home in Los Angeles
Be sure to visit the
Fine Dining
Restaurant when at the
Big Horn Country
Club, Palm Desert  
Be sure to click on this
beautiful image of one of our
fire rocks in a drop dead
gorgeous home
Sinks and tubs are a
unique way to stay in
touch with nature yet
provide sculptural
individuality to your
home.  I truly love
useful sculpture.  The
armchair and the
"potato couch" are fine
examples of functional
icons for your
landscape  
"Portal III" is the third in a series
which will continue as long as I have
the energy and appropriate stone
53 Dots was an inspiration of an artistic couple
whose front entry it now adorns
The sun glistens on the ancient
rock and the bubbling, dripping
sounds lull one off into a lazy
moment.
Basalt Columns make wonderful
fountains, particularly in narrow
areas
Be sure to click on the images
below for a walk through a
garden I did this last winter
The basalt columns are huge and give an
impressive look to this magnificence entry
The large lava chunks create a primitive
atmosphere with this basalt fire pit
Above is three images of the atrium at the new
administration building at the Living Desert, Palm
Desert, CA.  We made the chairs, fountains, the
black stepping stones, and decorative columns
from basalt found in Washington state.  Please
