Gallery of Design Images
These images are here to help you visualize the future. You can create almost anything if you can visualize it. We have pictures of mature plants, interesting built environments, art objects and building techniques. Plus, there are short videos for when only motion can tell the story.
These photos show large and small solutions to interesting challenges, which is what the design of your project will ultimately be: a beautiful solution to a set of interesting challenges. Hopefully our images will help you crystallize your vision or show others what they cannot see.
Cob Construction
Cob means lump or rounded mass which hints at its play-doh like qualities. It is a very accessible medium for making outdoor structures. Check our Resources and Links page for links to COB experts. view the gallery »
Plants and Trees
There are so many plants and trees to choose from. Here are some images of mature plants and trees to help you visualize the future. We'd love to have a volunteer assemble a collection of photographs of plants in the four seasons, so we could show the winter twigs, the spring blossoms, summer foliage and fall colors of each plant. If you have good specimin photos, please send them our way. Thanks. view the gallery »
Fences, Walls, Paving and Furniture
These are also called Hardscapes. They are often required for functionality, but they can dominate the appearance of a place. It's best to look at many options, before committing to tons of stone or concrete. We hope these photos help you see, then create, a tasteful future. view the gallery »
Videos
Sometimes only a video can tell the dynamic story, so we have videos. If you have a cable modem or DSL, this page won't take long to load, but videos are bigger files and load more slowly than still photos, so be forewarned and equipped with Apple's QuickTime player. view the videos »
