Martha and Randy Beard have achieved watershaping success by exectuing sophisticated design programs for a variety of high-end architects and landscape architects in southern California. Here's another in their series of articles about these collaborations - in this case a look at their recent work with architect David Tardiff, a cutting-edge designer of homes and spaces for affluent customers who demand beauty and excitement in their surroundings.

By Martha & Randy Beard

Water moving in all sorts of different directions (but always in controlled ways) is a hallmark of one of our favorite designers, architect David Tardiff.
   We've built the watershapes for many of his projects, and we've particular enjoyed those that put both his vigor and special subtlety on display. Time and again, his designs have challenged us technically while rewarding our clients with result that always seem to leave them proud, amazed and thoroughly satisfied.
   As we've discussed in our previous WaterShapes articles, a large part of our business is about executing watershapes for architects and landscape architects in the backyards of mostly affluent clients in southern California's Orange County. Each designer has his or her own creative style and sensibility, leaving us to adapt the work we do to their "idea sets" while lending our years of practical experience in engineering and construction to the process.
   In working this way, we find that everyone comes out a winner: The designer creates work that is based in reality; we stretch and expand our skills to realize truly spectacular design concepts; and most important, clients gain refined spaces that hit the mark with respect to both functionality and aesthetics.    The two projects we'll visit on these pages are quite distinct from one another, but Tardiff's creative flair is clearly evident in both. It's our privilege to share in the delight experienced by his clients, and we're always excited when a new project by this brilliant designer begins to take shape.
