“The history of the West is inextricably linked to water—through the dams, canals and viaducts that made cities possible, to windmills and wells that allowed homesteaders to feed their livestock,” writes Mountain Living in the article At Water’s Edge. “Two leading design firms have honed their working relationship over three decades, with some of their most creative and impactful collaborations manifesting in water features in residences throughout the Rocky Mountain West. JLF Architects’ contemporary rustic homes, each uniquely inspired by setting, lend themselves to the profoundly original but always appropriate waterscapes devised by Verdone Landscape Architects.” The magazine’s conversation with JLF’s Paul Bertelli and Jim Verdone delves into the subject, accompanied by photos from multiple collaborative projects.
