fresh Outdoor Living COLORS OF HAWAII When San Diego interior designer and colorist Kathleen Roarty wanted to create a livable outdoor room, she searched in vain for designer pillows that could work under "real life" situations. The result was the launch last summer of Mint Pillows, three lines of indoor-outdoor pillows each inspired by her family's worldwide travels. Roarty recently fell in love with Hawaii, discovering its aloha, or spirit, and its connecting themes of lush flora, ocean, volcanic soil and rich culture. These elements translated into the Aloha line (pictured). "The colors I chose represent the overlying green of Hawaii and the blue-violet tone captured at both sunrise and sunset. Both colors complement the turquoise ocean and the sand," says Roarty. The flora on each honors the ubiquitous state flower, the hibiscus, and the Monstera leaf. Each pillow is silk-screened and sewn by hand, and a portion of the proceeds is donated to various charitable and environmental organizations — the aloha spirit indeed. $96 each, mintpillows.com — MP 18 GARDEN DESIGN APRIL 09 One to Watch COURTNEY MCRICKARD Courtney McRickard (above) of Three Sixty Design used water in an urban Denver residence (right) to unify the space and drown out distracting noise. In another project (below), she used her client's love of art to create a focal point outdoors. Courtney McRickard is talking — and talking and talking — about different species of bamboo, eco-friendly concrete and recycled glass. Sustainable design is McRickard's passion as well as the focus of her Denver, Colorado, landscape-design firm. Three Sixty Design. While the 35-year-old is juggling several projects in and around the Rockies, she's most excited about volunteering for PlatteForum, a community art center in Denver where innercity kids create artwork and assist master artists with their installations. Her contribution, a 1,300-square-foot urban <strong>garden</strong> fashioned mainly from sustainable materials, will be completed this fall. — SHAWN C. BEAN Q: What landscape designs have inspired you? A: I love Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, D.C, and any of Virginia's James River plantations, including Evelynton Plantation, Shirley and Westover. Q What are the trademarks of a Courtney McRickard design ? A: I analyze a site, understand its parameters and let the land reveal its own design. As designers, we're taught to instill our creativity on a space. But the best way is to let the space continue on through the years and to recognize and respect what it wants and needs. Qj Tell me about your work with PlatteForum. A: With the help of the local kids and two senior horticulturalists from the Denver Botanic Gardens, I'm creating an urban <strong>garden</strong> with sustainable materials. There are steel gabion walls that we're filling with urban refuse — colorful glass bottles, felled limbs from winter storms — to demonstrate how urban waste can be reused in an artful way. Q Why has sustainable design been such a large part of PlatteForum ? A: The museum's design team wanted to raise awareness about the urban environment and how recycled materials from that same environment can be used in creative ways. Plus, sustainable design is an essential part of any landscape architect's education.
