Looking for Designer in Little Rock Arkansas
Comments (5)Here's the site for the Arkansas Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects: http://www.arasla.org/component/option,com_frontpage/Itemid,1/ Click on "Our Chapter," then "Local Firms." There are several listed in the Little Rock area. Unfortunately, only one comes up if you limit the search to "Residential" specialty....See MoreDrafter-Architectural designer-architect-whats the difference
Comments (67)AlexHouse has made some uninformed and misleading statements about laws regarding Interior Designers based on quotes from other uninformed people like this one: "In Nevada, it's illegal to do interior design without a license. That's right, advising someone about drapes could land you in the hoosegow." The law in Nevada law simply allows a "REGISTERED INTERIOR DESIGNER" to perform code regulated interior design work that was previously restricted to Architects. The law in no way restricts anyone from calling themselves an "INTERIOR DESIGNER" or from providing interior design services as they have in the past. The Nevada law was in response to the protests of Nevada Interior Designers who wanted to be able to design the materials and structures of the interior of code regulated commercial buildings. The law has no effect on the interior design of 1 & 2 family homes or the work of those who continue to practice interior design as they have in the past. REFERENCE: "NRS 623.3601. - It is unlawful for any person to: (a) Hold himself or herself out to the public or to solicit business as a ... registered interior designer ... in this State without having a certificate of registration or temporary certificate issued by the Board. This paragraph does not prohibit a person who is exempt, pursuant to NRS 623.330, from the provisions of this chapter from holding himself or herself out to the public or soliciting business as an interior designer." "NRS 623.330 - 1. The following persons are exempt from the provisions of this chapter: (g) Any person who prepares drawings of the layout of materials or furnishings used in interior design or provides assistance in the selection of materials or furnishings used in interior design... if the preparation or implementation of those drawings or the installation of those materials or furnishings is not regulated by any building code or other law, ordinance, rule or regulation governing the alteration or construction of a structure."...See More$3,000 flower bed?!?
Comments (38)Edge the pool with a wide strip of concrete or stone paving (much of the existing paving is going to turn out to be too narrow) and put a wall in to provide an adequately sized, paved seating area on the house side. If it gets too hot out there use patio umbrellas or install structural solutions like arbors or lath. Make the basic garden layout shrubs (or hedges) around the perimeter with grass in the center. Forget about a flower/herb/vegetable bed unless and until you are sure you will be willing and able to keep up with it. And then make a small, rectangular one using only variably sized rectangular groupings of multiple specimens each* of small, tidy clumping plants like chives and Coreopsis. Put it in a natural spot for a feature, with shrubs providing a backdrop - and near the house (I would have also put the pool near the house and not all the way at the back of the yard, sitting up high and exposed like an Aztec pyramid - but too late now). *Approximates general visual effect of interlocking drifts in a flowing informal border without nearly the same level of difficulty...See MoreArchitect recommendation in NC?

Comments (42)I don't have the courage to be responsible for a house that was too far away to visit during construction. I've simply found too many construction errors in buildings, even when I knew and trusted the builders. I just reviewed a window order and found the supplier had omitted 9 of the 29 windows although he had an error free window schedule that gave him all he needed to know including the window count. I have never found a building inspector to be of much assistance although some try harder than others but they're understandably concerned with code issues and that represents less than half of the potential problems I am concerned about. I am in Boston and designed a large condominium building in Minneapolis. I flew to the site every 2 weeks during design and construction. The owner was sued by a neighbor for not providing adequate foundation drainage and flooding his property. When his lawyer asked me if I had proof that the foundation drainage system was installed as designed, I said "just the photos"....See MoreMark Bischak, Architect
