Mediterranean, Medieval & Tudor Styles

Although I don't get a chance to build in these styles very often -- Mediterranean, Medieval and Tudor style garden architecture is perfect for English Tudor, Elizabethan, French Revival, Italian Renaissance and Mediterranean style homes.

For examples of my work in these styles please click on an image above. Below is more information about how I achieve these styles, along with links to related web sites.

 

Design Elements For Arbors, Fences, Decks & Gates

Wood: I like to use larger rough timbers, typically in the color range of dark browns or stained to that distinctive "old world" color.

Joinery: I recommend using modern construction techniques that produce the same effect as period construction methods, and add decorative pegs or rough heavy nails to enhance the look.

Metalwork: Decorative hand beaten iron strapping and heavy metal "hand forged" studs can be used to enhance the effect.

Lighting: Since mood is such an important aspect recreating this style, I recommend using hand crafted metal candle lanterns.
