Throughstone Group

The Throughstone Group was a collection of collaborators, designers, and thinkers, all working on landscape design together. We worked across disciplines to create an integrated approach to design, working solid metals, water, and fire into all our projects. The highest-profile project we collaborated on together was this project in Durango, CO, where Northwest Outdoor Lighting was able to highlight the hand-crafted stonework and unique design sensibility of the other designers.
