It's all in the Details...

Calipre Designs works with our clients to create

the outdoor space they have envisioned.

Using organic materials to inspire, man made products to accent and horticultural offerings to soften we are able to create a space that flows with form and function.

No property is undesirable, with the right materials and design you can create a year round oasis... large or small it is important to have a space to wind down, entertain and just plain breath in!

Placement and materials are key in the design elements of any space and that's where a professional designer/installer is worth the investment. Getting it right the first time allows you years of enjoyment and with an established design the value of your property grows along with your peace of mind.

We were absolutely overwhelmed with your thoughtfulness.

There just couldn't be a more touching or appropriate gift than the refection of accomplishments with our dream home landscape.

We look forward to persuing the dream and continuing the project with a great team just outside of Erin known as Calipre Designs.

Cheers

Calipre Designs PhilosophyThe aim of Calipre Designs is to make "good places", create valuable functions, allow natural forms to surround, celebrate the clash of wind and water, water and rock, hot and cold, sun and rain. Through ananlysis, practical input reveals practical output: this should characterize the landscape. A feast for the viewer.Landscape design should reflect the viewpoints of colour, harmony, composition, proportion, conversation value, ornament, symbolism, social value, narrative and mythology in a layered approach which remarkably fits into the capabilities of computer generated design. A landscape must be to scale both physically and financially, introducing ideas represented by patterns reflecting the intellectual heart of landscape design, planning and installation.Mother nature is the true architect of the visible world; we are but her students practicing under her awesome power. How does one interrupt nature? By creating sustainable landscapes that evolve over time, whether we repeat historical style set by human precedent or imitate Mother Nature. The principals of proportions should remain steadfast.Empower the client with knowledge and ingredients nursed by the arts and science.
